A new dimension in metal drilling: stepless drilling in record time with minimal effort

With the METAL HEAD and its innovative PEC (Progressive Edge Cutting) technology, Alpen is ushering in a new era in metal drilling: instead of having a single continuous cutting edge, the METAL HEAD is fitted with three cutting edges, arranged in a sophisticated geometric configuration relative to one another, each of which, with its specific functions, optimises every stage of the drilling process.

The METAL HEAD thus enables precisely positioned drill holes with a round cross-section, reduces wear, prevents snagging as the drill bit exits the hole, and minimises burr formation to an absolute minimum. Drilling requires significantly less effort, extends the drill bit’s service life and enables faster work.

  • Scope of application:
    For fast, reliable drilling in a variety of metal applications
  • Intended use:
    Mounting onto and removing from beams, sections, sheet metal and rails; metal structures and assemblies in hall and plant construction; structures in mechanical and apparatus engineering
    • Metalworkers / Fitters
      For steel, stainless steel, sections, sheet metal, structures
    • Electricians
      For cable trays, switch cabinets and metal enclosures
    • Industrial maintenance engineer / plant fitter
      For maintenance, modifications and repairs
    • Installation firms
      For fast, reliable drilling in a variety of metal environments
  • Technical features:
    PEC-Tec: a combination of three cutting edges with specific functions for smooth, continuous drilling, adapted to the drilling path
  • Technical advantages:
    • Smooth, continuous drilling
    • No centre-punching required; no slippage when positioning the drill bit
    • Angled drilling is also guaranteed without slippage
    • Ground groove for optimised chip flow
    • Steam-tempered surface for protection against corrosion
    • 3-flute shank for maximum grip and torque transfer
    • Special cutting edge geometry with a low point angle for a noticeable increase in drilling speed
  • User benefits:
    • Faster drilling progress
    • Reduced wear
    • Longer service life
    • Precise drill holes
    • Low energy consumption
