Nose Grind - Contour Combinations

Nose Grinds

Optimum drilling performance is achieved by the proper combination of nose grind and contour. For the widest variety of drilled holes, the Sterling Gun Drills standard 30 degrees x 20 degrees N-8 nose grind combined with the R-1 low land contour will prove best. However, any single or combination of variables, such as angled entry, exit, cross holes, very deep holes, reaming, stepped holes, even large diameter or material specifications may lead us to recommended a non-standard combination, with or without surface coatings. Please consult Sterling Gun Drills for the best combination suited for your application.
