Clarkson Osborn International of Sheffield, England are the supplier of precision engineers cutting tools to the THRUSTSSC project.
"Osborn drills are the best available for the precision work required for what is set to be the fastest car ever."
CD33 cobalt drills were used to 'sandwich' the aluminium inner skins to the stainless steel outer along with the thermal insulation lining. A high precision and difficult operation was achieved without compromise using CD33's.
"The Zircon coated Cor-L drills are fantastic, they just keep on going."
The new Cor-L drills with their special Zircon coating from Osborn are designed to withstand the most rigorous materials and deliver fantastic performance. They have been used on the composite and harder to machine materials used on ThrustSSC, receiving the praise of Mike Horne and the whole team.
Osborn Warwick taps were used on all tapping throughout the project attracting as much praise as the drills supplied.
"Without the much needed help from Osborn, the project just wouldn't have progressed as well."
Overall, the acclamation towards Osborn tools is indeed outstanding, not only for their performance but also for Osborn's support and assistance.
All quotes: Mike Horne - Chief Composite Engineer (ThrustSSC)
