Drill, Thread, and Chamfer with 1 Tool

The TM Solid TMDR by Vargus Tooling removes the need for pre-drilling holes, saving customers time and money.
These tools also work on components with pre-drilled holes, such as blind holes, through holes, and even semi-finished holes

It saves time only with a low hole count. For many holes the tool change time doesn't matter any more because you can do the operations for all holes with a single tool change

Touring vendor's facilities with our QA team during routine audits (they bring me along to discuss making sure our GD&T is attainable, design for manufacurability, and etc) and it just feels like a field trip. We strive to design 3 axis macineable parts and reserve parts needing a 4th or 5th axis as a last resort. But it seems like most machine shops are running 5 axis machines now.
