GT-12 Para Flute Drill

The GT-12 Para Flute Drill is a versatile solid carbide tool coated with AlTiN (TiAlN) designed for clean, accurate drilling in composite materials and aerospace-grade alloys. Its optimised flute geometry ensures fast chip evacuation, low delamination, and strong performance in both manual and CNC operations. The GT-12 was developed as a more aggressive version of the GT-16, including specialized coating to ensure longer lifespan and cleaner holes. It offers increased feed rates, longer tool life, and cleaner holes in tougher or more abrasive composite stacks.

Key Benefits of the Para Flute Drill:

  • 2-Flute Design for smooth drilling and effective chip clearance
  • Aggressive geometries like sharper cutting angle, helix angle and rake angles changed to cut faster through tougher materials.
  • Parabolic fluting improves chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces.
  • AlTiN coating provides excellent performance at high temperatures and speeds, making it ideal for tough materials and high-precision applications.
  • Solid Carbide Build offers long tool life and heat resistance
  • Versatile Use in hand or CNC machines across composite applications

FOR BEST USE ON:

  • CARBON
  • CARBON + ALUMINIUM STACK
  • CARBON + TITANIUM STACK
  • GLASS FIBRE
  • GRAPHITE COMPOSITES AND REINFORCED POLYMERS

Diamond Like coating (DLC)

Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C)

Ideal for cutting tools used in machining hard materials and composites. ta-C coatings are used when maximum durability and a high-quality finish are required, such as in aerospace and high-precision industries.

Titanium Nitride (TiN)

Commonly used coating on cutting tools like drills and end mills, TiN is effective for general machining of steel and aluminium. It’s not as suited for high-speed or abrasive materials.

Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN)

 TiCN is effective for machining hard materials and composites. It’s used on tools for high-speed machining and applications requiring higher hardness and wear resistance.

Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN)

Ideal for machining hard materials like stainless steel and high-temperature alloys. TiAlN is often used in aerospace and automotive industries for high-speed and heavy-duty applications.

Titanium Silicon Nitride (TiSiN)

Used in cutting tools for machining difficult-to-cut materials and composites. TiSiN is beneficial for applications that involve high temperatures and abrasive materials.

Titanium Chromium Nitride (TiCrN)

Suited for general machining applications, including those involving tougher materials and composites. TiCrN coatings are often used in manufacturing tools and components that experience moderate to high wear.
