Introducing The Universal Gundrill Grinding Fixture.
What makes Our Fixtures and Systems "Universal"?
For many years the gundrilling industry has begged for one single fixture capable
of producing the Facet nose grind as well as the Eldorado Sweep grind.
The Facet grind consistently gains popularity in the U.S. based on its proven capabilities and
durability in terms of performance and tool life. It does a great job. But sometime, the
Eldoradosweep grind may be the geometry that answers your drilling problem.
And wouldn't it be great to have an in-house fixture capable of regrinding those tricky step drills
that currently take forever to re-sharpen with existing equipment? Or, if you oursource,
imagine no longer having to send them back to the manufacturer for regrind.
The Universal Gundrill Grinding Fixture satisfies all the above needs!
We're also tackling the grinding of gundrills down to .032" dia. Expect a solution in the near future.
