Thermal Drilling Tools & Toolholders
Available167 products
Thermal drilling tools and toolholders generate friction heat to create holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metal materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and aluminum. Also called friction drilling, this process heats, softens, and displaces material to create holes without cutting or chipping. These tools are suitable for use with standard drill presses, milling machines, or CNC machining centers.
Combination Thermal Drill and Tap Sets
Combination thermal drill and tap sets include multiple friction drill bits and tap tools to create holes with common thread types and sizes. These sets also include required accessories for thermal drilling tools.

Bushing-Forming Friction Drill Bits
Bushing-forming friction drill bits use friction heat to create holes in metal materials. Collar-finish bits create a hole with a raised collar around the edge of the hole. Flat-finish bits create a flat surface around the edge of the hole. These bits produce holes that can be tapped to specific thread types and sizes.

Toolholders for Friction Drill Bits
Toolholders secure friction drill bits in place for thermal drilling. They have attached heat sinks and cooling disks that dissipate excess heat generated by repetitive drilling. These toolholders pair with compatible collets to hold bits and prevent slipping during drilling.
