MULTICUT® the Versatile Drill Choice for Trailer Fabrication

Graham Edwards Trailers Limited is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of quality livestock trailers and trailer chassis for horse boxes etc. Based in Full Sutton near Stamford Bridge, North Yorkshire, the manufacture of these popular trailers involves varying degrees of metalforming and fabrication in the production process.

The non-welded functions of the fabrication process include the bolting on of accessories such as towing gear and wheel jacks, as well as the securing of body panels and flooring. These production tasks involve the drilling of a number of holes of varying sizes and G&J Hall's versatile step drill Multicut®, is the preferred choice for a number of the drilling processes in use.

" Using G&J Hall's Multicut step drills speeds up the fabrication process due to the fact that we do not have to keep changing drill bits for the drilling of different sized holes. They are tough reliable tools which do the job without the fear of drills breaking in the work piece or injuring staff through jamming and twisting the operators wrist."

G&J Hall's Powerbor® holecutting system is also used in the fabrication process at Graham Edwards Trailers, producing larger holes in metal tubes used in the manufacturing process.

The POWERBOR© range of electromagnetic offers a choice of cutting capacities from 12mm to 100mm. Each machine carries a full 12 months warranty and a full selection of complementary arbors and accessories are also available.

In addition to the 12 month comprehensive standard warranty are dual carrying handles for greater manoeuvrability, improved high density magnet performance, reversible handles for use in restrictive areas, safe and convenient control panels, corrosive resistant tangle free cable and a free protective carrying case and safety strap. The POWERBOR© range has a unique portability providing the ideal solution to even the most difficult drilling applications either on-site or in the workshop. Incorporating a reversible variable speed motor as standard, the machine can be readily used for a wide range of both drilling and tapping applications. The highest capacity drill, the PB100, is available with a swivel base option allowing the machine to be firmly attached to the workpiece, taking the weight and making it easier to position the cutting tool more accurately.

The Job Just Got Fourteen Times Easier with a G&J HALL MULTICUT® HSS Step Drill

Just one Multicut® step-drill can achieve as much as 14 twist drills or hole-saws from one tool - saving time and money - 14 times easier for burr-free holes

ngineers throughout the world are achieving consistently reliable, cost-effective results in a wide range of drilling applications using G&J Hall's high-performance range of MULTICUT® HSS step drills.

MULTICUT® is capable of producing or enlarging holes in materials up to 10mm thick and is designed for use with power tools or pedestal drilling machines for an extensive range of industrial applications. Each step produces specific sized, parallel holes, with the maximum material thickness being determined by the length of step.

The ground profile of the MULTICUT® allows controlled drilling up to 60mm diameter in a hand-held drill. The non-slip point eliminates the need for a pre-drilled hole, whilst the smooth multi-flute action creates round burr-free holes.

In addition to an extensive range of general application tooling, MULTICUT® offers a range of dedicated products for electrical and other specific applications. Many of the MULTICUT® drill diameters are key electrical sizes, whilst ISO and PG conduit sizes are covered by tools specifically for these applications.

MULTICUT® drills are manufactured from High Speed Steel, resulting in long tool life and extra durability. Other value-added benefits include controlled drilling; burr-free holes; up to 14 conventional drill sizes on one tool; drills material up to 10mm thick; non-slip point - needs no centre punch; no flexing of drill whilst drilling; multi-flute design; drills diameters from 4mm to 60mm; enlarges existing holes; shank will not slip in chuck.
