Aerospace & Defense

Technologically advanced to solve your most difficult aerospace manufacturing issues

Cutwell developed the patented Wave-Point® Technology to solve the drilling challenges inherent to highly engineered carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). This innovative tool design was the result of our extensive aerospace experience, including a deep understanding of hole quality, tolerances and tool life for carbon fiber materials. The unique tool tip carves the material to eliminate delamination, dramatically minimizing exit burrs.

Reduce production time and improve quality

This technology, coupled with an exclusive diamond coating, enables higher operating speeds and longer tool life, helping to cut time out of the manufacturing process while improving quality. The tool is used in both CFRP and CFRP + metal stacks in aerospace and defense structures and assemblies. Common stacks include CFRP/AL, CFRP/Ti, among many other combinations.

In addition to Wave-Point, Cutwell offers solid carbide form drills, tapered reamers, and compression routers to further support the aerospace and defense industries.
