One Tool, Every Application

The Seco X-Tip Drill transforms traditional drilling operations by replacing multiple solid carbide drills with a single, adaptable solution. Through its innovative design featuring one drill body paired with an array of recyclable carbide tips, operators can transition effortlessly between different materials and drilling depths. This approach dramatically reduces tool inventory complexity, minimizes setup time, and lowers operational costs. The drill’s advanced high-feed geometry produces faster cycle times and superior hole quality with reduced machine downtime, while the recyclable tip system directly supports corporate sustainability initiatives.

“We’ve created a tool that doesn’t force shops to choose between performance and practicality,” explains Ricky Payling, Global Product Manager for Solid Round Tools Drilling at Seco. “The X-Tip Drill pairs a hardened tool steel body with precision-ground exchangeable carbide tips to deliver the rigidity demanded by high-performance applications alongside the flexibility of rapid tool changes. The result is straightforward: reduced downtime and increased throughput.”

Engineering Solutions for Real-World Challenges

The development of the X-Tip Drill addresses a pressing industry requirement: a drilling solution that integrates high performance, operational flexibility, and environmental stewardship without compromise. Beyond enhancing productivity metrics, the X-Tip Drill’s innovative architecture supports the manufacturing sector’s ongoing transition toward more efficient and environmentally conscious production methods.
