Featured Products
PCD Tooling
Precision Machining for Non-Ferrous Materials
Mapal’s PCD tooling solutions set the benchmark for high-performance machining of non-ferrous metals, composites, and plastics. Offering a wide range of custom and semi-standard PCD tools—including drills, reamers, milling cutters, countersinks, and combination tool - Mapal’s portfolio is engineered for maximum tool life, exceptional surface finishes, and extremely tight tolerances.
|
PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutting edges deliver superior wear resistance, enabling high-speed, high-accuracy machining of aluminum alloys, carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), magnesium, and titanium.
Designed for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing, Mapal’s PCD tooling reduces cycle times, minimizes part rework, and ensures consistent quality across high-volume production runs. |

Replaceable Head Reamers
High Precision, Lower Cost
Mapal’s Replaceable Head Reamers combine the precision of solid reamers with the cost-efficiency and flexibility of modular systems. Designed for ultra-precise hole finishing, these reamers allow quick head changes without removing the entire tool body from the machine, drastically reducing setup times and tool inventory costs.
|
Head diameters are available in fine increments starting from 5 mm (0.197") up to 42 mm (1.654"), with multiple cutting edge designs optimized for through-hole or blind-hole applications.
Tool bodies are typically offered with internal coolant supply to support high surface finish requirements and extend tool life, especially when machining steel, cast iron, or aluminum alloys. Mapal’s replaceable head system ensures perfect runout accuracy thanks to a precision-ground coupling, making it ideal for automotive engine production, precision hydraulic components, and any manufacturing environment where tight bore tolerances are critical. |
QTD Indexable Head Drills
Modular Drilling Efficiency
Mapal’s QTD Indexable Head Drill system delivers outstanding performance in medium to large diameter drilling operations, offering a modular solution that significantly reduces tool change costs and downtime. Designed for diameters starting around 13 mm (0.512") and extending up to 68 mm (2.677"), the QTD system utilizes exchangeable, precision-ground carbide or PCD drill heads mounted on reusable steel or lightweight aluminum bodies.
|
A key advantage of the QTD system is its internal coolant supply directed precisely to the cutting edges, improving chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup, and enhancing tool life — particularly valuable when drilling in steels, cast irons, aluminum, and titanium.
High positioning accuracy and repeatability between head changes make QTD drills ideal for production environments requiring consistent, high-quality hole making in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors. |
