Below is a detailed description of the tool’s specifications, features, and applications.

Pluto 1 X 3/4 X 1.3/4 X 3.3/4 Inch Slot Drill with Parallel Shank

Key Features:

1. Cutting Diameter:
   • 1 Inch: The 1-inch cutting diameter of the slot drill allows for the creation of wide slots, keyways, and grooves. It is well-suited for applications requiring a relatively larger slot or groove size. This is commonly used for parts where fasteners need to fit into a recessed slot or for general machining operations where the material needs to be removed in large sections.
2. Shank Diameter:
   • 3/4 Inch Parallel Shank: The tool features a 3/4 inch parallel shank, which ensures a secure fit in most machines like CNCs, drill presses, and milling machines. The parallel design means the shank is the same diameter along its length, offering stable and precise mounting, preventing slippage or wobbling during the cutting operation.
3. Cutting Length:
   • 1.3/4 Inches (1.75 inches): The cutting length of 1.75 inches allows for deeper cutting into the workpiece, making it ideal for creating deeper grooves, keyways, or slots. This length is especially useful when cutting thicker materials or when a greater depth of slot is needed.
4. Total Length:
   • 3.3/4 Inches (3.75 inches): With a total length of 3.75 inches, the tool provides a versatile reach for different types of slotting or grooving applications. The extended length enables greater flexibility when working with various material thicknesses or when a longer cutting reach is necessary.
5. Material:
   • High-Speed Steel (HSS): The Pluto slot drill is typically made from High-Speed Steel (HSS), a material known for its ability to maintain hardness and sharpness at high temperatures. This makes it well-suited for precision cutting applications, providing a longer tool life even under demanding conditions. HSS is ideal for working with both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Applications:

The Pluto 1 X 3/4 X 1.3/4 X 3.3/4 Inch Slot Drill is highly versatile and is used in a wide range of applications across different industries:

• Slotting: This tool is primarily used for creating slots in workpieces. The 1-inch cutting diameter is ideal for producing wider slots or keyways. It’s perfect for creating the type of openings needed in mechanical and industrial components such as shafts, gears, and housings.
• Keyway Cutting: The slot drill is ideal for cutting keyways into shafts, which are commonly used in mechanical assemblies for holding parts securely. This is a critical operation in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where precision keyway fits are required.
• Grooving: The Pluto slot drill is also used to make grooves in workpieces, which could be for parting off material, creating channels for other components to fit, or for decorative purposes. The cutting length of 1.75 inches provides the depth needed for many typical grooving tasks.
• Machining Metals: The tool is commonly used in the machining of metals such as aluminum, steel, brass, and copper. The HSS construction ensures that the tool can handle tough materials without losing its sharpness, making it ideal for industries requiring precision and durability.
• Plastic and Composite Materials: This slot drill can also be used on softer materials like plastics, wood, and composite materials. It can create smooth slots and grooves without excessive wear or deformation, which is important for parts made from these materials.
• CNC and Milling Machine Operations: This tool is often used in CNC milling machines and other high-precision equipment for tasks that require detailed and exact slotting or keyway cutting.

Advantages:

1. Precision Cutting: The Pluto slot drill is designed for high-precision cutting, allowing users to achieve clean and accurate slots, keyways, and grooves. This precision is essential in creating parts that fit together with minimal tolerance gaps.
2. Durability: Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS), the tool is highly durable and resistant to wear. It can maintain its sharpness for longer, even under tough cutting conditions, which leads to less downtime and greater cost-effectiveness in the long run.
3. Stable and Secure: The parallel shank ensures that the tool remains securely fastened in the machine without slippage, which minimizes vibration and improves the quality of the cut. This is important for achieving a smooth finish and for the accuracy of the slot’s dimensions.
4. Versatility: This slot drill can handle a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is suitable for various applications, from industrial slotting tasks to more intricate machining jobs.
5. Smooth Operation: The precise cutting edges and the well-balanced design of the tool ensure smooth operation, reducing the risk of tool chatter and promoting a clean, burr-free cut.

Specifications:

• Cutting Diameter: 1 inch (1.0″)
• Shank Diameter: 3/4 inch (0.75″)
• Cutting Length: 1.3/4 inches (1.75″)
• Total Length: 3.3/4 inches (3.75″)
