Join us for a Lunch & Learn on June 10th at our showroom as we showcase Palbit Vortex modular large‑diameter drilling running on an Okuma MA4000H, cutting steel. This session focuses on how shops are reducing cycle time, improving stability, and controlling tooling costs when drilling large‑diameter, deep holes on horizontal machining centers.

Designed for Real Shop Applications

Large-diameter holes in steel can be slow to machine, expensive to tool, and difficult to stabilize at depth. This session will show when modular drilling fits, when it makes more sense than boring, and how to build a more predictable process.

The focus is practical. You will see how tooling strategy, machine platform, coolant delivery, and chip evacuation work together in demanding deep-hole applications.
