Prima Tooling manufactures and supplies TCT drilling tools for CNC machining centres, automatic boring machines and specialist woodworking machinery.
Our range includes hinge boring bits, lip and spur dowel drills, through-hole drills, plug cutters, counterbores and twist drills.
We also supply solid carbide, HSS and PCD drilling tools when the application requires a different cutting material. Therefore, we can match the tool material and geometry to the machine, workpiece and required finish.
Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) Hinge Boring Bits
Our TCT hinge boring bits produce clean, accurate holes for concealed hinges and other furniture hardware.
The outer scoring spurs cut the circumference first. The carbide cutting edges then remove the material and help minimise breakout.
We supply versions with or without a brazed centre point to suit different drilling applications. These tools suit CNC machining centres, automatic boring machines and dedicated hinge-boring equipment.
In addition, we can resharpen TCT hinge boring bits several times to extend their working life.
TCT Lip and Spur Dowel Drill Bits
TCT lip and spur dowel drills produce accurate blind and dowel holes in timber, MDF, chipboard and other wood-based panels.
The centre point locates the drill accurately. Meanwhile, the outer spurs score the edge before the main cutting edges remove the material.
As a result, the drill produces a clean entry edge and an accurate hole diameter.
We supply both right-hand and left-hand versions. They suit CNC machining centres, automatic boring machines and multi-spindle drilling equipment.
TCT Through-Hole Drill Bits
Our TCT drilling tools also include V-point through-hole drills for MDF, chipboard, laminated panels and solid timber.
The V-point geometry helps control breakout as the drill exits the underside of the material. Consequently, these drills work well where both faces of the component remain visible.
We supply a range of diameters and cutting lengths. Right-hand and left-hand versions are also available for CNC and automatic drilling machinery.
Tool Servicing and Resharpening
TCT drilling tools can normally be resharpened several times, restoring the cutting edge and extending the useful life of the tool.
Prima Tooling provides an in-house sharpening and servicing service for drilling tools and other industrial cutting tools, with short lead times available where production requirements are critical.
Bespoke Drilling Tools
Where a standard drill cannot achieve the required hole size, form, reach or machining result, Prima Tooling can manufacture bespoke drilling tools for individual applications.
Special tools can be produced in TCT, solid carbide or PCD and developed from a drawing, CAD file, existing tool, component sample or machining requirement.
We can advise on cutting material, geometry, diameter, cutting length and shank design to suit the application.
