Selecting the appropriate pilot drill is critical to maximize performance and tool life of a succeeding deep hole or micro drill.

When using a high-performance drill, we do not recommend turning on coolant until the drill is inside a 1-2xD deep pilot hole.

Customers often get caught in a price war between cutting tool suppliers by attempting to reduce their total upfront investment in tooling.

Did you know Sphinx offers 3 unique drill/reamer geometries capable of drilling from a solid while achieving H7-H9 hole tolerance with exceptionally good surface finish?

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

If you’re looking for ways to improve productivity with micro cutting tools, here’s what you need to know.

There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop. 

Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.

They may be small, but we understand that our high-performance Sphinx tools play a big role in keeping spindles spinning and revenue flowing.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.

Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.
