Match the drill to the hole requirements and the machine's coolant capability, then use the selected series' application guidance.
970 PD1 Indexable Drills
Compare Patriot HP 970 PD1 indexable drills in 2xD, 3xD and 4xD depth families. Choose the required drill diameter, depth capacity and shank size, then match the specified PD1 insert size and grade. These tool bodies use replaceable cutting inserts; review both the body and insert listings when ordering.
970 PC Indexable Counterbores
Find PC1 cap screw counterbores, PC2 combined counterbore and chamfer tools, and PC3 back-side counterbores. Compare the operation, inch or metric screw size, cutter diameter, usable depth and shank dimensions. Select the configuration required by the drawing, and confirm the listed insert before choosing replacements.
970 PM Indexable Face Mills
Explore Patriot HP 970 PM face mills for supported milling operations. Compare cutter diameter, cutter style, tooth count, mounting bore and insert requirements. Choose the matching 914 PM insert series and grade for the cutter body and work material. Review the individual cutter's application and cutting-data recommendations.
Shrink Fit Holders & Tooling Accessories
Build a compatible holding setup with Patriot HP 966 CAT or HSK shrink fit holders, 973 straight-shank extensions and 969 HSK coolant tubes or sockets. Compare machine interface, clamping bore, shank diameter and gage or overall length. Confirm the holder's tool-shank requirements and the appropriate shrink fit equipment.
Match Replacement Inserts to the Exact Tool
Patriot HP 914 PD1 inserts serve the listed drill and counterbore families, while 914 PM inserts serve designated face mills. Match the full insert code, size and applicable tool before selecting the grade. Different body sizes and series can require different inserts; use the item specifications and ARCH catalog to confirm the pairing.
Choose by Work Material, Operation & Reach
Begin with the exact alloy, finished feature and roughing or finishing strategy. For end mills, compare end geometry, flute count and cutting length. For drills, compare usable depth and coolant requirements. For indexable tools, select the body and compatible insert together. Use the selected series' recommendations rather than assuming one tool or grade covers every material.
