American Heller's UTE Drills 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.
American Heller recommends our UTE drills for drilling holes between .496-.787" dia. For holes .787-1.375" dia., we recommend our BTU Style brazed tooling. For holes larger than 1.375" dia. we recommend our standard line of Unidex Solid Drilling Tools or our alternate line of BTA Indexable Solid Drilling Tools.
