CarbideMax™

CarbideMax™ TCT Broach cutters by Holemaker Technology are a new generation of broach cutter proven to more than halve the cost of hole broaching compared with traditional HSS cutters.

CarbideMax™ TCT cutters also offer a life expectancy up to 10x that of standard HSS cutters and cutting speeds up to 64% faster thanks to their individually brazed Tungsten Carbide cutting teeth and elaborate tool geometry.

This specialist construction also results in quieter, easier drilling, with smooth, accurate holes and chatter free performance throughout the cut.

The CarbideMax™ range - stronger and faster for longer, the ultimate value for money.

World's largest stocks

HMT hold the world’s largest range of available TCT products. The CarbideMax™ range also features an expansive selection of sizes, unique products and HMT exclusive lengths.

Extreme depth drilling

For the most extreme drilling depths the CarbideMax™ range offers 150mm & 200mm extra long broach cutters.

With precision drilling flutes and a specially engineered geometry for accurate cutting these cutters come with a standard 19.05mm Weldon shank for use in any magnet drill with sufficient stroke.

XL ultra large diameter

With the requirement for ultra large diameter broaching fast increasing, the CarbideMax-XL™ range offers cutters from 60mm right up to 200mm diameter with 110mm cutting depth as standard.

These high quality TCT cutters have a reinforced 32mm diameter shank to withstand the high levels of torque generated.

Up to 10x Longer Life

Tungsten Carbide is one of the hardest materials available for use in cutting tools. The HMT CarbideMax™ range uses Premium Grade Sandvik Tungsten Carbide teeth meaning that cutters are capable of drilling through the toughest steels whilst maintaining their strength & cutting surface for up to 10x longer than traditional HSS cutters.

Up to 64% Faster Cuts

The elaborate geometry of CarbideMax™ broach cutters means the teeth of the cutter do all the work. This reduces strain on the tool body and means that a strong but thin flexible alloy can be used for its construction. Thinner walls means CarbideMax™ tools need to remove less material from the work piece resulting in a faster cut and quieter, easier drilling.

Ultimate value for money

With lifespans up to 10x greater than standard HSS cutters and speeds up to 64% faster, HMT CarbideMax™ broach cutters will cut more holes, more quickly, for longer. Over the lifetime of the tool this means incredible value for money, greater job site efficiencies and fewer stops as fewer tools are reordered and replaced.
