Drills
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, our commitment to quality is reflected in our state-of-the-art machinery, which enables us to produce a wide range of bespoke seals, gaskets, washers, pads, fabrications, and more.
For certain materials that challenge traditional punching methods, our state-of-the-art drills provide the perfect solution. These robust pillar drills expertly handle materials that require precise hole formation, whether through the entire thickness or at specific depths, such as countersunk holes. This versatility ensures we can meet even the most exacting specifications with ease and accuracy.
To further optimise efficiency, we have engineered bespoke clamps and jigs that securely hold multiple parts simultaneously. This innovation enables us to drill multiple components in a single seamless operation, accelerating production while upholding our commitment to delivering high-quality finished products promptly.
