V-COIL rapid STI-Twist Drill, 12.4 mm

• Preparing the core hole before STI tapping in a wire thread insert repair process
• Supporting a repair workflow where the receiving hole must match the insert system logic before tapping starts
• Using a defined drill stage before insert based restoration of an internal thread
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note Select the product by thread designation, workpiece condition and the holder concept used in your process.

• Matched repair logic supports repeatable restoration of an existing thread designation
• Insert based repair can improve service life of the receiving thread in repeated assembly work
• Suitable for maintenance, overhaul and workshop repairs where part replacement is undesirable
• Clear assignment between preparation, tapping and insert installation reduces handling errors

• The process depends on the correct repair sequence and is not suitable when the parent material is cracked or too thin for the repair concept.
• It is a repair system and not the fastest choice when you only need a one time emergency fix without the full preparation steps.

1. Prepare the workpiece and confirm the correct thread designation before use.
2. Mount the tool securely in the intended holder or machine interface.
3. Align the product to the thread axis and start the operation in a controlled manner.
4. Continue the process with stable guidance and suitable lubrication.
5. Remove the tool carefully and clean the work area after the operation.
6. Protect the product from impact and contamination before storage.
