A Closer Look at the Drilling Process
Steel plate drilling at Brown McFarlane employs advanced cold cutting methods to achieve precise and consistent results. Using a multi-point rotary drill bit, the process begins with the bit being pressed and rotated at high speed against the steel surface, cleanly cutting or enlarging holes with remarkable accuracy. This method removes chips efficiently while producing sharp-edged entries to ensure precision.
