Next-Generation deep hole drilling starts with Seco® Feedmax
Explore solid carbide drills for deep hole, cross hole & pilot drilling. Extra-long and built to last. Explore deep hole drilling today.Why juggle multiple tools when one can do it all? Our Seco® Feedmax long series drill geometry is designed to cut through everything from hardened steel to titanium and Inconel—effortlessly. It’s not just versatile; it’s visionary, reducing the need for multiple tool types and simplifying inventory management.
Your Challenge:
Managing different drills for various materials increases cost and complexity.
Our Solution:
One drill geometry for all your deep hole applications—cutting across automotive, aerospace, die & mold, and general engineering sectors.
Deep holes demand discipline. Our 6 land margin design and precision edge honing deliver unmatched straightness and stability—even when exiting on an angle or navigating cross holes.
Your Challenge:
Deep holes often suffer from misalignment, poor surface finish, tool breakage and poor chip evacuation.
Our Solution:
Our geometry delivers straight, clean holes with high stability and minimal risk of tool failure—no matter how complex the cut. You can also expect good chip evacuation at coolant pressures as low as 40 bar.
With advanced TiAlN + TiN coatings, precision grinding and optimized gashing, our drills wear evenly and predictably. You’ll know exactly when to swap them out—no surprises, no downtime.
Your Challenge:
Inconsistent wear and frequent tool changes disrupt production.
Our Solution:
Predictable performance and longer life cycles that keep your production running like clockwork.
Why waste time with multiple steps?
With the ability to drill up to 60xD in a single pass and compatibility with high-pressure coolant systems, our drills reduce cycle times, minimize tool changes, and improve chip evacuation.
Your Challenge:
Deep hole drilling often requires multiple tools and steps, increasing cycle time and cost.
Our Solution:
Achieve deep holes in one shot—fewer tool changes, faster production, and lower costs.
To meet diverse production goals, our Feedmax drills support two proven strategies:
- Productivity Strategy: Use a pilot followed directly by the extra-long drill to minimize machining time—recommended for 16xD to 40xD.
- Tool Cost Saving Strategy: Use a 3-tool sequence (pilot drill > pre-drill > extra-long drill) to extend tool life and reduce costs—ideal for 40xD to 60xD applications.
Your Challenge:
Choosing between speed and cost-efficiency in deep hole drilling can be difficult without the right tools and guidance.
Our Solution:
Our drills are optimized for both strategies, giving you the flexibility to prioritize either productivity or tool cost—without compromising on quality or reliability.
Made from solid carbide, our drills are regrindable and recyclable. This not only extends tool life but also supports your sustainability goals.
Your Challenge:
High tooling costs and environmental impact from frequent replacements.
Our Solution:
Durable, regrindable, and recyclable tools that align with your sustainability goals.
