Spade Drills & Spade Bits

Vortex spade drill holders in spiral and straight flute, from stub length up to over-length, sized for drill diameters from 9.5mm through to 35mm. Each holder takes interchangeable inserts, so one holder covers multiple hole depths and materials without buying a new solid drill every time.

Three insert grades fit the Vortex holders: C500 Premier Cobalt (TiAlN coated, Vortex's own line, good all-round performance in general steels), T15 Powder Metal (TiAlN coated, from Europa, built for tougher, harder-to-machine materials), and K20 Carbide (TiAlN coated, from Europa, for steels and hardened steels where the cobalt and powder metal grades won't hold up).

Europa also supply a separate Flat Bottom insert range for flat-bottomed holes in wood, plastic and metal — dowel fitting, recessed areas and countersinking, rather than general metal drilling.

All held in UK stock. Order before 4.30pm and it ships same day.
