Special Aircraft Drilling and Reaming Tools Perform Unique Functions

All Regal Cutting Tools’ cobalt and high-speed steel aircraft drills are made to NAS (National Aircraft Specifications) and used to perform specific hole making operations in the manufacturing of aircraft and space age vehicles.  In each case, the style of tool selected will be used to produce a hole to specific tolerances and surface finish necessary for the fastener required. These are sold as New York Twist Drill products. Here are a few of our most popular specialty drilling options:

Adapter Drills: These threaded shank drills made from Cobalt or HSS will perform in tough conditions Typically with a ¼-28 short threaded shank and a hex nut behind the flutes makes the insertion and removal simple ensuring accurate hole size.

Nutplate Drills: Nutplate drill countersinks are so named because they are used in Nutplate pneumatic drill motors.  These machine specific drills when used with jigs will produce high volume of holes that are to size concentric between countersink and drilled hole.  Because of their design they start easily in difficult to machine materials.

Drivematic Drills: Used in Drivematic riveters assure accurate hole size and consistency with the countersink. There are two styles, one designed for aluminum an another for steel and titanium.

Spacematic Drills: Used in Spacematic equipment designed to produce quality precision holes in the surface of aircraft.  Styles for aluminum and steel and titanium produce close tolerance holes and countersinks.

Piloted Core Drills: Piloted core drills are designed to open holes 20% to 40% under their major diameter. These tools are intended to straighten and true holes. The piloted multi-flute design assures concentricity and straightness.

All these specialty drills can be designed to each customers requirements and specifications.
