Gundrilling Advantages

Building our expertise since the 1970’s, Carlson has drilled practically every metal alloy in all industries. The gundrilling process offers a few key advantages including much smaller hole sizes (2.0″ down to 0.055″), more parts to production hour, tight tolerances and more. Hole drift can also be minimized by rotating the part in the opposite direction of the drill like some of our deep hole drilling machines. This counter-rotation technology provides all the advantages of gundrilling, with superior drift precision.

Finish Your Part: One-Stop-Shop

Drilling is often not the hole (pun intended) journey for most manufactured parts. We provide many complementary services to save you lead-time and reduce supply chain complexity. From drilling, turning, honing, machining and more, ask us today how we can help with all your needs under one roof.
