The PROOF is in the NUMBERS

Competitor Tool Life (number of holes = 65)

The Problem: Previously, the customer was using a competitor drill:

• Solid carbide drill • Tool life = 65 holes

The Solution: Allied Machine recommended the GEN3SYS XT Pro with K (cast iron) geometry. The tool ran at the following parameters: • Hole Diameter = 9/16" • Coolant = None

XT Pro Tool Life (number of holes = 390)

• Speed = 117 m/min (390 SFM) • Feed = 0.20 mm/rev (0.008 IPR) • Tool life = 390 holes

The Advantage: The GEN3SYS XT Pro increased the tool life from 65 holes to 390 holes. Bottom Line: 6x the tool life

There's More to the Advantage Than Tool Life The XT Pro replaceable tip system provides other benefits in addition to the increase in tool life over the solid carbide drill: • Because only the insert needs changed when it reaches the end of its life, the XT Pro eliminates the need to re-establish tool lengths, which reduces setup times. • Further benefit in setup is also seen as the tool only needs changed one time for every six of the customer's current method. • Without the need for regrinds, the customer's stock of tooling is reduced by eliminating the need for float inventory to cover regrind lead time.

INCREASE in tool life 6x
