OSG USA Inc. announces the expansion of the company’s Phoenix PDZ offering with the addition of the new PDZ-3D indexable flat drills. The flat bottom drills feature enhanced chip breaker geometry, resulting in improved chip formation and evacuation. The broad lineup includes standard socket head cap screw sizes, enabling fast and stable drilling of counterbores in mold bases.
Phoenix PDZ’s flat bottom cutting edge configuration is compatible with a wide range of applications — drilling (including inclined and curved surfaces), counterboring, turning and more. It offers high-precision finishing on flutes, improves rigidity, efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting force thanks to its four-corner insert design. It is available in inch and metric sizes.
