The Seco® X Tip Drill simplifies hole-making with one modular drill body and multiple, exchangeable carbide tips that perform across steel, stainless steel, cast iron and more. The result? Reduced tool inventory, higher productivity and consistent, high-quality results. 
  

Designed for mixed production environments, the Seco X Tip Drill adapts easily to changing materials and drilling depths. With one drill body covering 3xD, 5xD and 8xD applications, manufacturers can streamline workflows, lower the risk of errors and reduce set-up time without compromising performance, reports Seco. 
 
A patented pre-tensioned interface enables fast tip changes. A double-sided key supplied with each drill body allows quick, secure tip replacement, while the axial lock ensures accuracy and repeatability even after multiple changes. 
 
Application-specific geometries facilitate predictable performance across demanding materials. ISO P and M tips provide reliable drilling in steels and stainless steels; ISO K geometry delivers stable cutting in abrasive cast iron; and the Flat-Bottom geometry produces flat-bottom holes in a single operation, eliminating secondary machining steps. All geometries are compatible with the same X Tip drill body. 
 
“The Seco X Tip Drill gives manufacturers a smarter way to manage complexity,” says Ricky Payling, global product manager for solid round tools (drilling) at Seco. “One drill body, multiple applications, less waste and consistent performance. It’s designed for flexibility on today’s shop floor.” 
 
High-feed capability, optimised chip evacuation and self-centring geometry deliver fast cycle times, excellent hole quality and low cost per hole. The reusable drill body and replaceable, recyclable carbide tips also support more sustainable manufacturing.
