The innovative, patent-pending PEC-Tec technology allows for fast and precise drilling of metal, without punching, with lower contact pressure, longer life and significantly reduced energy consumption.
"Fast in metal. Extremely durable." This is the promise of ALPEN Metal Head, the new metal drill bit designed for professionals: thanks to its exclusive cutting geometry, it offers drilling speed, tool life, and precision results never achieved before, allowing you to work with greater productivity and economic efficiency.
With the ALPEN Metal Head , the family-run company is bringing a new metal drill bit to the market, the fruit of a nearly 70-year tradition of "Made in Austria": a tool designed for those who want nothing less than speed, precision, and affordability. It is aimed at both professional craftsmen and industrial and manufacturing companies, where drilling operations are part of daily operations, such as in assembly, maintenance, small-series production, and prototyping.
PEC-Tec geometry: faster speed, longer life and lower energy consumption compared to conventional step drill bits
At the heart of the Metal Head is the innovative PEC-Tec (Progressive Edge Cutting-Tec) technology . This special tip geometry, currently patent pending, is based on three cutting edges designed to work in perfect synergy. Compared to traditional stepped drills, the main advantage of PEC-Tec technology is the ability to work at record speeds on numerous holes, with extremely low energy consumption. PEC-Tec technology also allows drilling to begin precisely at the desired point, without the need for punching. It ensures rapid feed even with low contact pressure and reduces material penetration. This reduces the risk of snagging and burr formation, while also improving stability during drilling.
These advantages are particularly important in manual operations, where tool control directly impacts productivity. The reduced pressure required reduces operator fatigue, while the increased stability and reduced tendency of the bit to tilt or snag facilitate work even on thin sheet metal. The special geometry also allows drilling to be started even on inclined surfaces.
For those who use cordless drills, the lower energy requirement translates into a concrete advantage: the battery is subjected to less strain, allowing for more holes to be drilled on a single charge. At the same time, the reduced force required reduces stress on both the operator and the machine.
A versatile solution for crafts, maintenance and industrial production
Metal Head is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of professional applications. Its primary users include metal construction companies, blacksmiths, machinery manufacturers, mechanical workshops, industrial maintenance technicians, assembly companies, companies specializing in the construction of steel structures and warehouses, installers, and automotive and commercial vehicle workshops.
Designed to offer maximum practicality
In addition to its innovative, patent-pending cutting geometry, the Metal Head features a smooth flute for efficient chip flow and a vapor-tempered surface that helps protect the tool from corrosion.
