2015 Sodick Model K1C EDM Small Hole Drill — a precision-engineered electrical discharge machine purpose-built for fast, accurate small-diameter hole drilling in hard-to-machine materials. Renowned for reliability and speed, the K1C is a workhorse solution for tool rooms, aerospace suppliers, mold and die shops, and any manufacturing operation that needs to drill micro holes in carbide, hardened steel, or other difficult substrates without conventional tooling wear.

The K1C is a high speed small hole driller that machines difficult to cut carbide and heat treated workpieces, and Sodick’s patented Vitol machining fluid allows EDMing at much faster speeds than small hole machines that use water as a dielectric fluid. This proprietary fluid system gives shops a genuine productivity edge over conventional water-dielectric hole poppers, cutting cycle times while extending electrode life.

The Servo System dramatically improves responsiveness in servo detection, offering 2 times faster machining speeds compared with previous models, and the K1C small hole drill is equipped with the Micro-Step Servo which maintains stable machining at all times. The result is consistent, repeatable hole quality even on the most demanding jobs.

Sustainability-minded shops will appreciate the machine’s efficiency: the K Series features energy-saving designs and technologies, and compared to conventional Hole Drillers, the K Series can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%. Lower energy draw means reduced operating costs over the life of the machine, without any compromise in drilling performance.

Operator comfort and ease of use were clear priorities in the K1C’s design. The K1C is carefully designed to consider easy operation for operators — the operation panel is located at the front of the machine, and the counter display is at the height of the operator’s view. This ergonomic layout reduces operator fatigue and speeds up setup and monitoring during production runs.
