Forecreu’s tooling division

December 2009

The new Coolant Fed Drill material presented by the French manufacturer of hollow bars is designed to give outstanding accuracy and to achieve better efficiency and cost reduction.

Thru-hole machining Working with this technology allows to use higher cutting speeds and higher feed rates. Some other advantages are not to be missed:

The cutting effort is reduced and far more stable
Formation of chips is controlled
Longer tool life working in special alloy
Optimum performance in high speed machining

.Quality of the tools Obviously the quality of the tools depends on the quality of the material. Forecreu, specialized in providing high quality material in an extensive range of grades also proposes material to produce tools.

"Quality is life"

says François Ory, CEO of Forecreux, he ads: "We all at Forecreu team promise you the quality of products and services"

Solid carbide drill with TiAIN coating

September 2017

For all Force X products, the new generation of solid carbide multi-application drills from Dormer Pramet, CTW (Continuously Thinned Web) technology is now being deployed. It offers a very strong web design, which is said to reduce the thrust requirements and thus increase the tool life. More productively in action: the new Force X range offers both solid and coolant feed options to improve cutting efficiency and swarf evacuation. As the exhibitors explain, the drills all feature a (…)
