These drills found success drilling precision fastener holes in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP). Being a special round tool company, Precorp applied the vein technology to a variety of tool types such as reamers, end mills, spot facers and countersink tools across all machining industries. In the early 2000’s, Precorp expanded its capabilities and added solid carbide special round tools to their offering.

This allows a global presence for Precorp products and positions Precorp to be a global leader in engineered cutting tool solutions.
