GT-38 Radius Point Drill

GANDTRACK GT-38 RADIUS POINT DRILL

The Solid Carbide GT-38 Radius Point Drill is engineered for manual and low-speed drilling in abrasive composite materials such as carbon fibre, glass fibre, and hybrid laminates. Designed with a radius point geometry, it provides smooth entry, reduces delamination, and maintains hole quality — even when drilling from solid.

Its rounded design helps distribute cutting forces more evenly, lowering the risk of material breakout or edge chipping, which is particularly critical when working on finished parts or thin laminates. Whether you’re opening holes or drilling from solid, the GT-38 ensures precision, durability, and operator control.

Key Benefits:

  • Radius point geometry for reduced delamination and cleaner entry

  • Capable of drilling from solid with minimal pushout

  • Ideal for hand drilling and low-RPM operations

  • High abrasion resistance for use in tough composites

  • Excellent heat resistance — maintains sharpness during manual use

FOR BEST USE ON:

  • CARBON FIBRE / CFRP

  • GLASS FIBRE / GFRP

  • REINFORCED POLYMERS & COMPOSITES

  • HYBRID STACKS (Carbon + Aluminium)

SIZES AVAILABLE:

  • From 2.5mm – 12.0mm

HOW DO OUR PART NUMBERS WORK?

GT-38 RADIUS POINT DRILL PART NUMBER 

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.
