So now I suppose ,we should really have a little look at,some of our latest products,that we've launched,so I'll kind of hand over to you to talk about the DE10. Yep,no problem,thank you Ben.So DE10,as Ben said ,this is one of our latest products in drilling, in rotating indexable,so this is an exchangeable head tip drill,we spoke about earlier on. So for us,it's very new on the market,and when we introduce products,it doesn't matter what product they are,whether they be drilling,milling,end milling,whatever they may be,we do a lot of testing with our products as you know. And the feedback from the testing that we have done ,whether they'll be in a lab,or more importantly,at our customer sites,so real life scenarios on real life machines. The actual,the result that has come back from using DE10,that it's around 40% more increase on tool life ,compared to what we're up against with our competitors,and our existing products as well. And that in turn,helps us get a reduction in CO2 ,with our sustainability targets that we have. So we're able to run the drill a lot harder,penetration rates,are a lot faster ,and we're able to have that drill in the machine ,a lot longer without having to change and insert. So when it comes to successes with drilling,of course ,what are the main successes? Of course,to life is what we all want. We all want to life in the drilling process. And with DE10,we have thisoptimized geometry now to cover all materials,which we'll talk a little bit further on. We've got robustness,and I think that's the biggest thing with this product. This is a very robust drill that we've got. We're able to achieve the whole quality that's needed ,depending on the application that we're looking at. Productivity for sure,because we're able to increase with the high penetration rates that DE10 offers. And no pilot drill as well. So some drills,we have to use a pilot,but with this product with DE10,we don't have to use a pilot. We're able to go in at drills,the depths of up to eight times D,and in the future,12 times D without pilot. And why is that then ?I guess,why is that? So really we've got this new painted design with DE10. So this head locks into the drill body. So the drill tip locks into the body ,rotates,and it's a really good connection. We've got these angled faces that gives us that more security,more reliability. But also we've got like a little tang within the head that makes up to the body. So the drill cannot pull out either. So ultimately we've got a lot more strength with this. We've also got,because of this new painted design,a lot more drill tip changes. So any tool has got shelf life. You can only rotate or index and insert so many times before you have to start looking at replacing the drill body in this case. Whereas with this design,we're able to get more drill exchanges without having to buy a new drill. So very good when it comes to that very secure,very reliable. And I suppose that'll offer a cost saving maybe over some other competitors, because you aren't having to increase that frequency of buying your drill bodies. Correct. Consuming less when it comes to that. Yeah. And on that point there,Ben,when you say consuming less with D10,we have a geometry M5 geometry,and that is suitable for all materials as well. So if you're machining different components ,different materials each day in the machine shop ,then you're not having to buy separate drill tips ,other than the diameter of course,for different materials. You're able to use one geometry for all materials. And providing you stay within the recommendations and each of the tools when they do arrive,the drills when they arrive in your workshop,they will come with some information on recommended data for certain materials, minimum and maximum. Providing you stick within that area,then the drill will work in a good way,in a good way.
