OSG ADO
OSG ADO is a OSG tooling system used in solid carbide drilling. RT100 and ADO are broad solid-carbide drill families rather than single identical tools. Both include coolant-fed high-performance and deep-hole variants, but their product families emphasize different geometries, coatings, material-specific versions and depth ranges.
Product system overview
OSG ADO is a OSG tooling system used in solid carbide drilling. RT100 and ADO are broad solid-carbide drill families rather than single identical tools. Both include coolant-fed high-performance and deep-hole variants, but their product families emphasize different geometries, coatings, material-specific versions and depth ranges.
Industries and applications
- Use ADO where OSG’s A Brand geometry, EgiAs coating and coolant-hole design match the material and depth.
- ADO-SUS provides a clearer official path for stainless and titanium than a generic ADO selection.
- Long-depth ADO variants are relevant when no-peck or one-shot deep drilling is a primary process goal.
- Use ADO when OSG's A Brand coating, coolant-hole design or documented 40xD/50xD process is required.
- ADO-SUS and ADO-TRS provide clearly differentiated paths for difficult materials and high-feed steel drilling.
Technical and quote details
- Family structure: ADO is OSG’s A Brand coolant-through drill platform with standard, stainless/titanium, micro and long-reach variants.
- Deep-hole strategy: ADO variants are listed up to 40xD and 50xD, with R-gash geometry and through coolant supporting chip control.
- Coolant and chip evacuation: Internal coolant, Mega Cooler geometry on selected variants and wavy/R-gash cutting edges target flow, lower thrust and chip evacuation.
- Material specialization: General ADO targets steels; ADO-SUS is specifically positioned for stainless steel and titanium, with additional small-diameter variants.
- Selection discipline: ADO, ADO-SUS, ADO-MICRO, ADOX and long-depth ADO versions should be treated as distinct products.
- Portfolio structure: ADO standard steel drills plus ADO-SUS, ADO-TRS three-flute, ADO-MICRO, ADOX and long-depth variants.
- Standard depths: Standard and specialized coolant-fed ADO families extend from short drills through 40xD and 50xD tools.
- High-feed option: ADO-TRS uses three flutes and R-gash chip control for high-feed steel drilling in 3xD and 5xD versions.
- Material-specific options: ADO-SUS targets stainless and titanium with Mega Cooler coolant holes and a sharp wavy edge; standard ADO focuses on steels.
- Deep-hole strategy: ADO deep-hole tools are listed through 40xD and 50xD with through coolant and a no-peck application proposition.
Selection notes
Use ADO where OSG’s A Brand geometry, EgiAs coating and coolant-hole design match the material and depth.
ADO-SUS provides a clearer official path for stainless and titanium than a generic ADO selection.
Long-depth ADO variants are relevant when no-peck or one-shot deep drilling is a primary process goal.
Use ADO when OSG's A Brand coating, coolant-hole design or documented 40xD/50xD process is required.
ADO-SUS and ADO-TRS provide clearly differentiated paths for difficult materials and high-feed steel drilling.
Select the exact RT100 or ADO variant from material and depth first. Neither family is universally broader in every application; the meaningful comparison is between two identified series at the same diameter, depth and coolant condition.
DREAM DRILLS offers broad geometry and material segmentation. ADO has a particularly clear coolant-fed deep-hole and three-flute high-feed story. Compare exact series under identical setup conditions.
Variables to validate
- A family-name comparison is insufficient: exact series, diameter, depth ratio and material must be identified.
- Deep-hole drills may require pilot tools, entry procedures and minimum coolant pressure.
- Runout, coolant flow and chip evacuation usually dominate small-diameter tool life.
- A family-level comparison is incomplete without the exact series, diameter and depth ratio.
- Long drills require the specified pilot, entry, coolant pressure, runout and feed sequence.
