Sandvik CoroDrill 880
Sandvik CoroDrill 880 is a Sandvik Coromant tooling system used in indexable drilling. SUMOCHAM and CoroDrill 880 are not the same type of drill. SUMOCHAM is an exchangeable solid-carbide-head system designed to deliver solid-drill-like hole quality with a reusable body. CoroDrill 880 is an indexable insert drill with separate central and peripheral cutting edges and broader multifunction capability.
Product system overview
Sandvik CoroDrill 880 is a Sandvik Coromant tooling system used in indexable drilling. SUMOCHAM and CoroDrill 880 are not the same type of drill. SUMOCHAM is an exchangeable solid-carbide-head system designed to deliver solid-drill-like hole quality with a reusable body. CoroDrill 880 is an indexable insert drill with separate central and peripheral cutting edges and broader multifunction capability.
Industries and applications
- Use CoroDrill 880 when larger-diameter indexable economics or multifunction operations matter.
- It is the clearer choice when the process may use the same platform for interpolation, boring, plunging or turning in addition to drilling.
- Its independent central and peripheral insert strategy offers more tuning freedom but requires more setup discipline.
Published technical profile
- System architecture: Indexable drill using central and peripheral inserts; two or four cutting edges are available depending on diameter.
- Geometry strategy: Central/peripheral insert geometries and grades are selected independently to balance chip formation, surface finish and wear.
- Operation scope: Officially supports drilling plus helical interpolation, boring, plunging and turning.
- Diameter character: The standard CoroDrill 880 assortment is published for approximately 12–84 mm holes.
- Hole-making behavior: Wiper geometry and optimized chip channels support surface finish, feed capability and chip evacuation in an indexable format.
Selection notes
Use CoroDrill 880 when larger-diameter indexable economics or multifunction operations matter.
It is the clearer choice when the process may use the same platform for interpolation, boring, plunging or turning in addition to drilling.
Its independent central and peripheral insert strategy offers more tuning freedom but requires more setup discipline.
Prefer SUMOCHAM for exchangeable-head drilling where a solid cutting profile and simple head change are valuable. Prefer CoroDrill 880 for indexable drilling, larger holes and multifunction work where separate insert optimization is acceptable.
Variables to validate
- The tools have different architectures, so cost-per-edge comparisons are misleading without complete assembly and cycle data.
- SUMOCHAM head style and CoroDrill center/periphery grade combinations must each be matched to material and conditions.
- Hole tolerance, finish, breakout and machine stability should be compared using exact diameters and equivalent depth ratios.
