Applications
for Sandvik Coromant
Sandvik Coromant drills are well suited for manufacturers that need consistent, high-precision holemaking in medical, electronics, automotive, aerospace, composite, and metal-stack applications.
The CoroDrill® series supports workpiece-specific chip control while helping reduce thrust, vibration, heat-related wear, and tool breakage. Its application-focused geometries and coolant-through designs help maintain hole roundness, straightness, and surface finish in demanding drilling conditions.
These features can help reduce rework, improve line uptime, and support better cost efficiency.
Note: Results may vary depending on tool selection, cutting speed, feed rate, coolant type, and machine rigidity.
