The Vortex Indexable U-Drill (3xD) is a versatile, general-purpose drilling solution designed for through-coolant operation across a range of metals. It uses SPMG/SPKX inserts and is built to handle demanding materials with reliable, consistent results.

• Diameter: 26 mm
• Maximum drill depth: 3xD
• Insert compatibility: Uses SPMG or SPKX ISO inserts
• Coolant: Internal through coolant capabilities
• Material compatibility: Suitable for Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Exotics & Non-Ferrous
• Holder availability: Holders available in 2xD, 3xD and 4xD

The through-coolant design promotes effective chip evacuation and temperature control, helping maintain hole quality and extend insert life. With standard SPMG/SPKX inserts, you gain broad material coverage and easy, cost-efficient maintenance. The 3xD depth enables deeper holes in a single pass, reducing tool changes and improving overall machining efficiency across a wide range of metals.
