INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ALLIED DRILLS

When it comes to high precision drilling and low rate of tool wear, Allied drills are the most trusted brand of drills among artisans and engineers. They use replaceable tip-drill technology hence are very economical and cheap to work with than other types of drills. Allied incorporates advanced engineering capabilities and a wide selection of advanced tooling to ensure a cost effective and efficient drilling process. The tooling options supplied by the company can be used for various operations such as reaming, drilling and threading. They can also be used on different materials such as wood, timber, and metal to produce holes.

Allied drills come in different styles and sizes meant to produce different sizes of holes in different materials. The choice of drill bit to use will mainly depend on the desired result. The most common type of drill bits are the twist bits. They are commonly referred to as twist drills. They can be used on a hand drill or electric drill to drill a variety of materials. Their twisted shape is used to remove debris from the created hole and prevent unnecessary heating and clogging. Some of the materials that can be drilled by this type of drill bit include plastics, timber, metals and other similar materials.

Most Allied drills are made of hardened steels. High-speed steel bits are used to drill metallic pieces due to their hardened nature. They can even be used to drill mild steel without wearing. Carbon steels on the other hand are used to drill softer metals since they are less flexible and more brittle than high-speed steels. Most workshops are equipped these types of drills for their drilling operations.

Some types of Allied drills have a Titanium nitride coating. The coating increases their hardness properties and also acts as a lubricant during the drilling process. It further gives them a golden appealing look. However, the material gives lubrication properties only when working on metal. It does not have a similar effect on other materials. Whenever a tool bit gets blunt or worn out, it should be replaced with a similar bit from Allied. One can also opt to economize on the replacements and sharpen the blunt drill bit. However, maximum caution should be taken during the process. An oilstone or drill sharpener should be used for the process. When sharpening the drill bit, a correct angle at the tip should be formed so as to achieve maximum efficiency when drilling.
