Dri l l ing, piercing, punching

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.   FEIN – UK Email: adam.smith@fein-uk.co.uk Website: www.fein-uk.co.uk  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.

The powerful FEIN KBM 65 Q and 65 QF are designed for use in the workshop and for diameters of up to 65mm.

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

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.
