ULTRA Broach Cutters
CarbideMax Ultra TCT Broaching FAQ Section

Q: How many holes can i expect CarbideMax Ultra TCT Cutters to last
Our own test results using VersaDrive series Magnet Drills we achieved in excess of 84 holes per cutter before the test ended (cutters were still working). However broaching Hardox and Wear Plate materials with portable tooling is one of the toughest drilling tasks and in less than optimum conditions life expectancy could be significantly lower. We are on hand to help with your application and we can most likely suggest some improvements to help increase life expectancy.
Q: Why have I chipped or broken a tooth on my CarbideMax Ultra TCT Cutter
This can be symptomatic of a range of issues such as too much feed pressure (force used) too much chatter or vibration due to poorly maintained slides, the magnet or workpiece moving during the cut, or too much swarf building up in the hole causing the cutter to jump and chip. If the Cutter withstands the cutting forces of drilling 1 or 2 holes and then breaks while in use, there is not a quality issue with the cutter. Hardox & Wear plate materials are very intolerant of chatter or vibration or excessive pressure and can be easily broken if care is not taken or even with a moments inattention.
Q: What RPM speed should I use
For typical hole sizes in the range of 14-26mm we recommend an RPM speed in the region of 450-390 RPM

1. Broaching Hardox and Wear Plate Materials Best Practice
+
- For best results and life expectancy of tooling, use a high torque/geared Magnet Drill with speed control
- Cautious & Gentle feed pressure should be used at all times, especially during the start of the cut and exiting the material
- Generous application of Biocut Blue cutting fluid should be used during the cut & applied frequently during the cut
- Backing off the cutter & applying more BioCut Blue is necessary for increasing tool life
- Swarf removal from the cutter is also required for longer tool life
- Minimise the distance between the arbor and the workpiece. Use as short a cutting tool as you can to reduce wander and movement off centre
- Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to eliminate vibration
- Allow the cutter to cool between holes
- If there is another material behind the metal that is being drilled (for example concrete) and the cutter tips contact this material, it can significantly shorten the tool life
