Mapal tools has introduced a new line of precision drill inserts that use a hybrid method of manufacture. The shank is produced using conventional machining processes while the bit itself is created using laser melting additive manufacturing techniques. This hybrid process has resulted in the ability to create a wider variety of size bits as well as push the boundaries of the types of tools that Mapal can craft.
