American Heller's Brazed Regrindable Drill Heads (TU) are used for Solid Drilling operations. Solid Drilling is a deep hole drilling process used when only one operation is desired to obtain the required bore diameter. Solid Drilling tools remove all the material from the bore in just one pass. Additionally due to the quality of the bore finish the majority of operations require no additional machining to 'clean up' the bore.
