The parallel shank provides consistent and stable support for precision cutting.
4. High-Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbide Construction: The Pluto Slot Drill is made from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, depending on the specific model. These materials are selected for their superior wear resistance, heat resistance, and sharpness retention, ensuring long tool life even under heavy-duty use. Carbide variants are particularly useful for harder materials and high-speed operations.
5. Versatile Cutting Applications: This slot drill is designed to work with a wide range of materials:
   • Metals: Ideal for cutting slots, grooves, and keyways in steel, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.
   • Plastics and Composites: Works efficiently with softer materials such as plastics and composite materials, ensuring clean, precise cuts.
   • Woodworking: It can also be used in woodworking for cutting clean, accurate slots.
6. Smooth and Efficient Cutting: The cutter’s geometry and design help reduce cutting forces, ensuring that the slotting process is efficient with minimal chatter. This results in smoother, cleaner cuts and helps to improve the overall quality of the finished workpiece. The tool is optimized for minimal heat generation and smooth material removal, leading to extended tool life.
7. Easy Setup and Operation: The parallel shank allows the tool to fit securely in standard tool holders, making setup fast and easy. The compatibility with standard collets and tool chucks ensures versatility and ease of use across different machine types, including both manual and CNC milling machines.
8. Extended Tool Life: The combination of durable materials and precise design ensures that the Pluto Slot Drill offers long-lasting performance and can withstand heavy machining operations. With high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide construction, the tool maintains its sharpness for extended periods, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs.
