TWINMASTERTWINMASTER® - Registered Trademark of Sterling Gun Drills Drills


The TWINMASTERTWINMASTER® - Registered Trademark of Sterling Gun Drills two flute deep hole drill is a technologically superior, solid carbide tipped, tubular construction drill manufactured to any diameter from .20" (5 mm) to 1.00" (25.4 mm), with overall lengths to 36" (915 mm).

The TWINMASTERTWINMASTER® - Registered Trademark of Sterling Gun Drills drill offers a choice where the extreme accuracy of a single flute drill is not required, but a better penetration rate (and certainly a better method) than twist drilling is desired on virtually any machine tool and gun drill machine. The advanced tip geometry and chip clearance advantage allow deep hole drilling in a wide variety of materials not in just the "gray cast iron or free chipping nonferrous material" as limited by competitor's drills. Typical accuracy on standard machine tool applications should maintain .002" on diameter and better than .002"/inch straightness, with good surface finish. Better accuracy can be achieved on gun drill machines. Optional surface coatings include TiN, TiAIN, and others.

Sterling Gun Drills offers a resharpening service with quick turnaround for all TWINMASTERTWINMASTER® - Registered Trademark of Sterling Gun Drills drills as well as half round drills and gun drills of any manufacturer. Retipping is also available at substantial savings.


Rota-V™ Brazed Joint

Rota-V™ Brazed JointThis innovative feature rotates and angles the brazed surfaces of the tip and tube at 45 degrees, providing back up to the carbide tip that greatly enhances its strength. Testing showed such a positive lock that even an unbrazed example was able to drill through solid steel... try that with any competitive tool!
