Home / FAQ / How does Friction Drilling contribute to less waste and chips?
Friction drilling minimizes waste for the following reasons:
- Less waste: Chipless drilling means no material is lost, and no metal particles are released. Additionally, the use of friction drilling eliminates the need for foreign material as a fastening method, such as a blind rivet nut, weld nut, press nut, or nut.
- No metal particles: Chipless drilling ensures no metal particles or chips end up in your end product. This is especially relevant for HVAC and sprinkler installations where metal particles can compromise the final product.
- No addition of material: There is no addition of another material, making the end product easily recyclable.
