Why Do Customers Love the i-One Drills

Information provided by Product Manager for Holemaking

During many of the international trade shows YG-1 attends, I had the privilege of speaking to many customers about YG-1’s holemaking portfolios. At the holemaking table, I was privileged to share the features and benefits of all the YG-1 drills, while also listening to customers’ success stories with our tools.

Above all, many customers took a special interest in the i-One drills, Carbide Inserts & Holders because it has many benefits to reduce cost and increase productivity. Customers requested specific support for their current solid carbide drilling process and were eager to improve their machines' productivity with the i-One drills' modular feature for quick change and run. Or others had difficulty with their internal regrinding services with difficulty re-setting offsets and tracking inventories of solid carbide drills in flow. The i-One drills solve these problems with ease, making it a valuable tool in any machining operation.

Here is how the i-One drills deliver:
