Tritan drills from MAPAL have established themselves across the board due to their great economic advantages. Four new designs complete the range of products. The Tritan-Drill-Uni for machining steels, stainless alloys and cast materials has been further developed and improved with regard to its tool geometry. The new Tritan-Drill-Uni-Plus has a clear advantage over the previous drill for universal use: Finished groove profiles improve chip removal and a wear-resistant coating increases (…)

Multi-bladed reamers are the tool of choice when high cutting rates and short machining times are called for. In view of the limitations of conventional production methods, it has not been possible to date with steel tool bodies to direct the coolant exactly to all the functional areas of the tool. With the new MonoReam, MAPAL presents the first additively manufactured reamer. Compromises always had to be accepted in the design of the coolant channel bores. Thanks to additive (…)
