Three-edged replaceable head drilling system
With the Logiq 3 CHAM, Iscar is offering its new three-edged replaceable head system. Compared to conventional drilling tools with two cutting edges, it is said to enable up to 100 percent higher feed rates.

This is mainly because the extension of a drill results in the drill being bent or deflected disproportionately. A fundamental rethink was necessary with regard to the design and production of drill bodies and indexable inserts.

At the same time, their shapes are becoming increasingly complex. Production cycles are also becoming shorter and shorter, while the number of injection-molded parts per tool is increasing. For mold makers, this results in new requirements for design, development and production.
