They look pretty nice if they'll live up to their hype. I do bunch of intersecting waterlines in H-13.

I haven't tried anything they have in 70xD but I have used their drills in 300M @ 55Hrc up to 12xD with no problems..

 

All their stuff I have tried has done what they said it would.. pretty pricey to purchase but so far they have been totally worth it for us..

 

faster cycle times, and less messing around.. can't beat that.. end result for us has been a huge cost savings per hole..

 

That said a bunch of intersections sounds scary.. but still probably worth giving them a shot.. since i'm guessing you have to get it done one way or another either way.

This is where the GTO comes into play lol...let the tooling salesman fund the first run

If you have the high pressure thru coolant the drills work as advertised.

The stub drill pilot hole is a must as well as taking the deep drill into the pilot hole before full rpm and high pressure coolant on, enough dwell for everything to come up to speed and power then watch and be amazed

Tozmaster,

 

What is the wait time on the XD drills? At the last IMTS they were 100% special order. I'm not sure if they still are.

As far as the Titex XD drills are concerned there is still a 12-16 week turn time.

Hopefully soon they will have an inventory of some kind

Completely agreed, they do work as advertised

Don't know about 70xd, but we've had great luck with some Mitsubishi 30xd tc drill in 304ss. 5/64 dia too!!!! 1000psi 1 shot no pecking. 600+holes.

Have had good results with Titex as well but never used in that demanding of an application.
