Description

The Vortex Spot Drill is a precision center drill designed for professional metalworking. Built for machinists, fabricators, and serious DIYers, it delivers clean, accurately positioned spot holes that simplify subsequent drilling and machining.

  • Diameter: 3 mm
  • Material: HSS-E Cobalt alloy for enhanced strength and heat resistance
  • Coating: TiAlN coating to boost hardness, lubricity, and wear resistance
  • Point angle: 90° for precise, true center holes and reliable starting points
  • Performance benefits: TiAlN coating improves chip evacuation and reduces friction during drilling
  • Application: Ideal for creating centre holes to guide subsequent drilling or machining operations

The combination of HSS-E cobalt with a TiAlN coating gives the Vortex Spot Drill rugged longevity and stable performance, even in tougher metals. The 90° point ensures the drill starts true, minimizes wandering, and produces a crisp center hole that aligns your next cut with confidence. Use this drill to prepare steel, aluminum, and other common metals for chamfering, tapping, or through-hole drilling, reducing tool wear and downtime while improving overall hole quality.
