In the area of solid round tools we have our Corridor Dura 462 deep hole version coming and the one who knows all about it is my colleague James in England. So over to you James. Thank you Isabella. Today I'm pleased to introduce the new Corridor Dura 462 deep hole. Corridor Dura 462 deep hole is our new versatile solution for deep hole drilling across multiple materials. With longer tool life and an assortment designed around customer and distributor needs and stock availability in both metric and imperial sizes, this launch gives us a strong growth potential. The all new geometry combined with our new PVD coating has been specifically developed for multi -material applications offering versatile performance, high process security and superior tool life. The geometry is designed to improve machining stability and process security while the combination of geometry and grade also supports higher productivity. The drills are tip coated using a multi-layered PVD coating with tailored post treatments to improve surface smoothness which provides enhanced wear resistance. Another key benefit is that no dedicated pilot tools are needed. You simply select the same diameter Corridor Dura 462 short hole drill in either 3 or 5 times D to use as the pilot. The deep hole and short hole diameters are fully aligned and cover the same size increments. Along with improved tool life, this helps reduce the cost per hole compared with the Corridor 861 and competitor solutions. To support sustainability and reduce cost of ownership, the geometry has been designed to allow multiple reconditioning cycles while maintaining the original cutting diameter and full usable length. The deep hole assortment covers drills from 3 to 20mm in diameter with lengths available up to 30 times D. The applications have varied and span many industry segments including automotive, general engineering and oil and gas. With a wide range of standard diameters and lengths, we can cover a broad variety of customer applications. To support custom applications, tailor-made options are also available. These extend the standard offer and give us more opportunities to meet specific customer requirements. The assortment includes 943 deep hole drills covering 273 different diameters from 3 to 20mm. It's worth noting that as tools get longer, the maximum diameter reduces, but the available sizes up to that point remain consistent. For drills of 15 times D and longer, we recommend using a pilot drill and in this case simply use the same diameter 3 or 5 times D short hole drill. The Dura 462 assortment is now even wider, including deep hole drills. With a large number of stock tools, we can support a wide range of customer needs. Non-stock tools can easily be converted to stock standards to support customer requirements. The existing Corridor 861 GM and GP tools will begin their phase out and move to LCS30 on the 1st of September 2026. From the 1st of February 2027, they will transition to LCS40. This allows existing inventory to be consumed, but stock will not be replenished after that date. Of course, the product itself is only part of the value we offer to our customers. It's also important to highlight our supporting services, including reconditioning, recycling, tool guide and tailor-made, and to show how these can further increase the value of the tool. We also have a range of supporting materials available, including product family page, customer presentation, and component hull. To close, versatile multi-material drilling is a key part of our drilling offer. Expanding the Dura 462 family to include deep hole drilling, alongside our existing micro and short hole drills, shows just how important this area is. These tools are used across many industries and applications far beyond the examples covered today. And the full value is realized when the product is combined with our supporting offers and services. That concludes my presentation. I'll now hand back to you, Isabella. Thank you so much for sharing those insights, James, and we are really excited for this upcoming launch. And as you know, all available materials can be found for you on Partner Portal. Thank you so much for watching.
