SPECIAL

Special Drill

Special drill refers to drill bits that are specifically designed and manufactured to meet the unique requirements of users. Unlike standard drills commonly available on the market, these are custom-made to suit the particular materials and special characteristics of the workpiece. They may come in various diameters and feature additional machining such as counterboring, countersinking, and chamfering.

STEP

Step Drill

A step drill is a specially designed cutting tool characterized by its progressively increasing step widths. Unlike regular drill bits that can only drill a hole of a single size equal to the bit’s tip diameter, a step drill combines multiple drill sizes into one bit. This allows drilling holes of various diameters with a single tool. Step drills are commonly used in high-volume (mass production) manufacturing because they significantly reduce both production time and costs.

PCD Face Mill

A face mill typically involves multiple inserts in a holder or body with adjustable pockets. The face mill body can be made with aluminum to reduce the weight and vibration during cutting. A face mill can be designed to include both finishing and roughing PCD inserts depending on the application. Smaller face mill diameters can be made with steel or carbide body with brazed PCD tips. Halcyon offers many standard face mill sizes, as well as any special sizes for your needs. Please let us know what size you need

Carbide Reamer

Tungsten carbide reamer is an industry standard cutting tool type. It is suitable for cutting (reaming) ferrous materials such as steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Halcyon specializes in designing and manufacturing special carbide reamer customized to perform best for your application. Internal coolant holes and coatings are available.

CERMET

Cermet Reamer

Cermet Reamer is a type of reamer with a cutting edge made of a material called “Cermet”. Cermet is a synthetic material combining the good qualities of ceramic (wear resistance and high temperature resistance) with metal (toughness and flexibility) making cermet reamer an outstanding tool for applications that requires high heat and wear resistance as well as toughness and strength. This includes materials such as cast iron, pre-hardened steel, or steel applications with higher speed.
Halcyon uses high-quality cermet imported from Japan, and we can design and manufacture high quality cermet reamer for high precision applications with beautiful surface finish.
Features of Cermet Reamer:
- High hardness, toughness, and wear resistance
- High precision with sharp cutting edge
- Better surface finish compared to carbide reamer
- Long tool life helps save production cost in the long term
- Suitable for special cutting tools in mass production such as automotive, aerospace, dental implant, etc.

PCD Form Tools

Hollow Tool works like a plunge form tool. Halcyon developed this type of tool for the hard disk drive application. Our PCD hollow tool has proved to increase efficiency in machining HDD base plate hubs. Conventional machining may involve multiple standard tools to cut complicated profiles on port holes. Complicated part geometries can be combined into a single tool to achieve the best cycle time, as well as concentricity between each step.

PCD Reamer

Monocrystalline Diamond or MCD (sometimes called “Mono”) is the most common type of Single Crystal Diamond (SCD), and it is generally the most economical. High pressure high temperature (HPHT) process is used to synthesize MCD where diamond crystals slowly form from a carbon-based mixture under extremely high pressure and temperature. The process mimics the natural process in a controlled environment. The diamond created from this process has a yellow tint. MCD cutting tool is most suitable for finishing operations that require “polished” or mirror-like surface finish. Same as every diamond cutting tool, it is suitable for non-ferreous materials such as, aluminum, copper, brass, precious metals, plastics, etc… Industries that commonly use MCD cutting tools in their manufacturing process include, automotive, optical lens, jewely, watch, etc.

PCD End Mill

Halcyon is the industry leader in PCD end mill. Our patent pending Z-TEC End Mill technology allows for high-helical PCD on the cutting edges, as well as positive radial rake angle. Our Z-TEC technology eliminates the PCD end mill's limitations on helix angle and cutting length. Its superior performance can achieve 15 times longer tool life than carbide end mill; and 3 times tool life of conventional PCD end mill. This makes it possible for higher feed, better surface roughness, as well as lower cutting force. It reduces cycle time, down time, and ultimately, cost per piece!
