Allied Machine Announces New 4TEX Drill
Engineered for Toughest Jobs
Higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty machines
fractional diameters, as well as every ½ mm diameter up
to 26mm and every 1mm up to 47mm so customers can be
assured of fast delivery.
Industries working with a variety of materials – especially
aerospace, heavy equipment, automotive, and energy
industry applications – will benefit from the excellent chip
formation provided by the 4TEX drill’s unique geometries. It
is also a great choice for making interrupted cuts including
entering and exiting on an angled surface, enabling certain
operations to be performed without milling the surface first.

4TEX™ Drill improves hole size and straightness, especially in
applications involving interrupted cuts.
D
over, OH - Allied Machine & Engineering, a leading
manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tooling
systems, announces the new 4TEX drill, ideal for
making shallow 2xD, 3xD, and 4xD holes in the 12-47 mm
(.472” – 1.850”) range. Industries working with a variety
of materials – especially aerospace, heavy equipment,
automotive, and energy industry applications – will benefit
from the excellent chip formation provided by the 4TEX drill’s
unique geometries. The drill is also a great choice for making
interrupted cuts, or drilling on an incline or angled surface.
The new design means certain operations can be performed
without having to first mill the surface.
The 4TEX drill’s single effective cutting edge provides higher
penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty
machines. The center coolant outlet was eliminated to
increase the drill’s core strength in this design, resulting
in improved hole size and straightness. Instead, twisted
coolant outlets were added to improve hole straightness and
penetration rates by enhancing coolant flow and superior
chip evacuation. Insert geometries for standard ISO material
categories improve hole quality and penetration rate, while
eliminating issues from chips wrapping the tool.
4TEX inserts are 4-sided, lowering customers’ cost per
hole. The unique insert shape improves surface finish, hole
diameter, and hole straightness by providing a superior
balanced cut compared to ISO inserts. The drills will be
stocked in both imperial and metric shanks with standard
