(Sandvik Coromant: Sandviken, Sweden) -- Global leader in metal cutting, Sandvik Coromant, has launched an upgraded CoroDrill 860 assortment to offer customers improved productivity in drilling steel. The advanced -PM geometry offers high-performance drilling in ISO P steels while significantly improving tool life.

The drill features a new grade with an improved multilayer physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating. The results are enhanced wear resistance, better tool life, and an overall increase in productivity and, thereby, reduced cost-per-component.

The drill is perfectly suited to applications in the automotive, general engineering, die-and-mold, and power-generation industries.
