A SCHIFLER Diameter 22 mm Cutting Depth 35 mm TCT Core Drill also known as a TCT hole saw, is a specialized cutting tool used for drilling large-diameter holes in various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, and masonry. TCT core drills consist of a cylindrical body with Tungsten Carbide cutting teeth or tips attached to the outer edge. Here are some key features and characteristics of TCT core drills: Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT): Tungsten Carbide is a hard and durable material known for its excellent wear resistance and cutting performance. TCT core drills have Tungsten Carbide tips brazed or welded onto the cutting edges, allowing them to cut through tough materials with precision and efficiency. Cylindrical Design: TCT core drills typically have a cylindrical shape, similar to a hole saw, with a hollow center for waste material to be removed during drilling. The outer diameter of the drill determines the size of the hole it can create. Multiple Teeth: TCT core drills may have multiple cutting teeth or tips arranged around the circumference of the drill. The number and arrangement of teeth can vary depending on the size and design of the drill, as well as the specific application requirements. Versatility: TCT core drills are versatile tools that can be used with various drilling machines, including handheld drills, drill presses, and magnetic drilling machines. They are suitable for drilling holes in different materials and can be used in industries such as construction, woodworking, metalworking, plumbing, electrical, and fabrication. Cutting Performance: TCT core drills offer fast and efficient cutting performance, allowing users to drill clean and accurate holes with minimal effort. The Tungsten Carbide tips provide long-lasting sharpness and durability, resulting in extended tool life and reduced downtime for sharpening or replacement. Cooling and Lubrication: During drilling, TCT core drills generate heat due to friction between the cutting teeth and the workpiece. To prevent overheating and premature wear, it's essential to use coolant or lubricant during the drilling process. Coolant helps to dissipate heat, reduce friction, and prolong the life of the cutting edges. Safety Considerations: When using TCT core drills, it's important to observe proper safety precautions, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. Users should also follow manufacturer recommendations regarding drilling speed, feed rate, and coolant/lubricant usage to ensure safe and effective operation. Overall, TCT core drills are valuable tools for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike, offering efficient and precise drilling capabilities in a wide range of materials. With their durable Tungsten Carbide tips, versatile design, and high-performance cutting abilities, TCT core drills are essential equipment for many drilling applications across various industries.
