Universal milling drill 8 mm — HSS, 118° tip (PTG Präzisions‑Technik)

A Universal milling drill 8 mm (HSS) designed for drilling and contour milling in steel, non‑ferrous metals, wood and plastics, suitable for general workshop and light industrial use

• HSS construction for reliable wear resistance
• 118° tip for accurate centring and clean starts
• Cylindrical shank Ø 8 mm for secure clamping
• Right‑hand cutting for standard machining tasks

Consistent precision for mixed‑material production

The combination of high‑speed steel (HSS) and a 118° tip provides stable cutting performance when switching between common workshop materials. HSS is a resilient tool steel that tolerates moderate heat and abrasion better than plain carbon steels; this means improved edge retention during repetitive contouring and drilling tasks. The slightly flattened tip angle aids initial centring and reduces walk‑off, producing cleaner entries in steel and non‑ferrous metals while still performing reliably in wood and plastics. For operations where reliability across different substrates matters, this tool reduces the need for multiple specialised cutters, supporting a smoother production flow.

Secure clamping and straightforward handling

A cylindrical shank with 8 mm diameter guarantees compatibility with standard collets and chucks commonly found in drills and milling machines. The plain shank geometry simplifies mounting and inspection, which shortens set‑up times and lowers the risk of slippage under moderate loads. Because the cutter is uncoated and right‑hand cutting, it is straightforward to resharpen and recondition in‑house where required, extending service life and helping to keep running costs predictable. This combination supports workshop efficiency by reducing downtime for tool changes and maintenance.

Versatile application reduces tool inventory

Engineered as a universal solution, the cutter is specified for both drilling and contour milling, enabling one tool to perform two related operations. The tool’s geometry is tuned to deliver acceptable surface quality and dimensional control across a range of materials, thus lowering the number of specialised tools needed at the bench. For small series and prototyping where flexibility is key, this approach saves time and simplifies logistics. Clear labelling and consistent dimensions also make inventory management and reordering more straightforward.
