Will Prangle our special tools sales director has a team of nine engineers with over 150 years combined service to Drill Service. Mick Clapp our works manager has almost 40 years service.Combine this with our commitment to supply 100% accuracy and consistent on time delivery. We think you will agree that this all adds up to a unique manufacturing partner for all your cutting tool needs.
Our practices and technology have continued to evolve from the early days of one grinding machine to a high technology workshop. We are very proud of our two Anca multi axis cnc grinding machines fitted with the latest
software. Both machines are fitted with an iview camera that enables us to inspect the finished part whilst in production. This in process measuring, reduces production time and increases accuracy allowing us to keep prices competitive while reducing lead times. Both Anca are fitted with automatic loaders to facilitate efficient batch production, but the sophisticated technology allows us to produce any number of tools from single items to large batches.

The coating of carbide tools (inserts), has been available since the late ‘60S. 10 years later Balzers® successfully TiN coated drills with consistent results. Today coating has become a high tech industry, continually developing new generation coatings.
Coating is used to remedy the following problems:
- Abrasion
- Adhesion
- Crater
- Oxidation
- Surface Fatigue
At Drill Service we work closely with all the leading coating suppliers. We can always specify the most applicable coating for each application on special or standard tooling.
