Materials on the floor
If it can be machined, we've probably already put a hole through it.
From soft copper bar to the superalloys that shrug off heat and cutting pressure alike — tooling, coolant pressure and feed rates are set per material, not per job sheet.

Engineering experience across challenging materials
Deep hole drilling becomes increasingly difficult as materials become harder, tougher and more heat resistant. DHDS understands the challenges associated with difficult-to-machine materials and adjusts tooling, cutting parameters and coolant strategies to achieve accurate results.
Superalloys
Materials such as Inconel and Hastelloy require specialised tooling and controlled cutting conditions due to their heat resistance and work-hardening characteristics.
Titanium & Aerospace Materials
Titanium alloys demand careful control of tooling pressure, coolant flow and machining parameters to maintain bore accuracy and surface finish.
Copper & Aluminium
Softer materials require different drilling strategies to prevent material deformation and maintain dimensional accuracy.
Military-grade alloy capability
DHDS has extensive experience working with proprietary military-grade alloys used in critical defence applications. Our processes are developed around precision, repeatability and strict quality requirements.

If it can be turned on a lathe, there's a good chance we can put a bore through it.
