New metal core drilling units
FEIN is adding robust metal core
drilling units, speed-optimised for HSS
core drills, to its extensive product
range. The tools were developed by
Jancy Engineering Inc in Iowa, USA, a
respected engineering company in the
core drill market, acquired by FEIN in
early 2011. FEIN is now adding four of
the robust tried-and-tested KBB tools
and matching HSS core drills to its
product range.
The FEIN KBB 38 core drilling unit is
suitable for diameters of 12mm–38mm
and depths of up to 50mm. It features
a powerful motor for efficient drilling. At
14.4kg, the tool is comfortable to use
in different working positions on the
construction site.
When space is at a premium, the best
choice is the FEIN KBB 40 for diameters
of up to 40mm and depths of up to
50mm. At just 305mm in height, this is a
compact construction tool, and because
the motor and jig are made from a
single part, the motor does not move up
during operation. The maintenance-free
drill shaft is mounted without play in a
spindle sleeve.
The FEIN KBB 60 is a core drilling
unit with two-speed gearbox, designed
for use in the workshop, for diameters of
up to 60mm. The extra-long shaft allows
it to handle materials up to 75mm thick.
The two-speed gearbox mechanically
adapts the speed to the core diameter.
The FEIN KBB 30 is an extremely
compact core drilling unit for on-site
drilling. With a motor housing made of
fibreglass-reinforced plastic, it weighs
just 10kg (according to EPTA), making
it suitable for working at heights, for
example in the construction of industrial
and other large-scale premises or steel
structures. The FEIN KBB 30 is suitable
for diameters of up to 30mm and depths
of up to 50mm and has been available
since August.
The merger with Jancy means direct
benefits for FEIN users, because
the new HSS core drills incorporate
many years of production expertise
previously marketed under the Slugger
brand. The FEIN HSS NOVA, a high-
quality core drill, is now available with
Weldon and QuickIN tool mountings for
diameters of 12mm–60mm and depths
of 25mm, 50mm and 75mm. The FEIN
HSS DURA models come with titanium
nitrite coating for high heat resistance
and have excellent smooth work
progress.
The addition of the new FEIN KBB
models means that FEIN now offers two
core drilling ranges. Each of the FEIN
KBM core drilling systems is designed for
a specific task or application. The FEIN
KBM 32 Q is a compact core drilling unit
for construction work. The FEIN KBM
50 QX has a mechanical two-speed
gearbox for core diameters of up to
50mm, while the lightweight, two-speed
FEIN KBM 52 U is suitable for universal
on-site use. The powerful FEIN KBM
65 Q and 65 QF are designed for use
in the workshop and for diameters of up
to 65mm.

High speed tube perforating
THE Sanderson range of high speed
tube perforating machines provide
an efficient method of perforating
muffler baffle tubes commonly found
in automotive exhaust mufflers. The
leading edge TPM4 machines have a
consistent punch rate of 64 holes per
second in stainless steel.
Sanderson has announced the
release of the TPML perforating
machine. This is described as the
first commercially available machine
capable of perforating the tube from the
inside out. The benefits of this process
include the absence of burrs to interfere
with the gas flow, and an added bonus is
the ability to produce the outward double
and single louvre tube. The parts are
punched row by row along the length of
the pipe, allowing for parts to be made
more closely to print without the need to
alter them to suit the machine.
Sanderson has been building tube
perforating machines for over 20 years
and has amassed a large amount of
experience in this field, with machines in
daily use in nearly every industrialised
country in the world.
