Deep hole drilling is defined by the depth of hole cut to diameter of the hole. Usually, any rate higher than 10:1 is considered to be a deep hole. BTA, trepanning, and gundrilling can all fall within deep hole drilling paramters. These operations require a high amount of boundary film lubricity, non tacky fluids, and lubricants that can withstand extreme pressures. Our products are designed to cover a wide variety of materials, from aluminum to titanium.
Product Highlight
Aladdin 334 is our flagship product. 334 was developed specifically to help our customers acheive impeccable part finish, increase tool life, and exceed operators expectations. This light bodied fluid allows for easy flow and flushing allow chips to easily form and be flushed down the center tube. This also acheives quick coolant flow to the point of cut and a robust boundary film on wear pads. Aladdin 300 has been used to gundrill holes as small as .009″ for medical devices. This product can be used in small sumps, high turnover rate, and high pressure coolant systems with no foam. 300 is designed to meet todays tough material machinablity standards.
