Productivity: A unique, scissor style clamp design, and drilling speeds up to 4x faster means changeouts can be completed in about half the time of other rail drills.

Cool cuts eliminate heat build up and rail failures.

Economy: With Twister Bits™ your cost per hole can be as low as $1, giving you more holes per Rail Cutter than spade or twist drills. The increase in productivity and less frequent tool replacements keep maintenance costs low.
