In this video we test run the new Kennametal HTS drill in the big CNC at 900 rpm.

Considering the chucks weigh nearly 200kg each… and it's a dual chuck machine… I'm spinning about half a ton of steel at high speed.

But… heavy duty calls - and that hole ain't gonna drill itself.

Learned a bunch in this video, and looking forward to all the machinist with way more experience than me with this particular tool share their insights in the comments. A little bit of vibration and a slight squeal, but overall a very nice result and no loud bangs.

Thanks for tuning in!
