CY170 17mm Broach Cutters, Tin Coated, For Rail Drilling Machines

Cembre CY170 17mm Broach Cutters, Tin Coated, for Rail Drilling Machines

The Cembre CY170 17mm Broach Cutters, Tin Coated, are precision-engineered cutting tools designed for use with Cembre’s rail drilling machines, such as the LD-41P, LD-16B-RP, or LD-1P ECO. These broach cutters are optimized for drilling clean, accurate 17mm holes in steel railway rails, particularly VIGNOLE (flat-bottom) rails like the 60E1 (UIC60), offering superior durability and efficiency for railway maintenance applications.

Key Features

• 17mm Diameter: Ideal for drilling precise 17mm holes in rail webs, suitable for electrical contact installations, signal track circuits, or other rail fastening systems.
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating: Enhances hardness, reduces friction, and improves corrosion resistance, resulting in a better cut surface finish and extended tool life under high-pressure conditions.
• Quick Push/Turn Shank: Facilitates fast and secure attachment to Cembre rail drilling machines, streamlining setup and operation.
• Optimized Cutting Geometry: Delivers clean, burr-free holes with faster drilling times and superior surface finish compared to earlier A and A-L type cutters.
• High Performance: Capable of drilling steel rail quality grades 700-900-1100 (UIC 860.0), producing more holes per cutter with improved efficiency and precision.
• Compatibility: Specifically designed for Cembre rail drilling machines, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance in lightweight, single-operator setups.
• Coolant System Support: Compatible with Cembre’s coolant systems (reservoir and pump with quick coupler), enhancing cutting performance and tool longevity.

Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 17 mm
• Depth: Likely 25 mm (standard for CY series; long-range CYL variants may offer greater depth)
• Coating: Titanium Nitride (TiN)
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS) or similar, optimized for rail steel
• Shank Type: Quick push/turn shank
