Description

The Vortex Spot Drill is a precision 5 mm spot drill designed to create exact center holes for reliable follow-on drilling. Built for professional machinists, metalworkers, and CNC operators, it delivers consistent starting accuracy and smooth entry for your holes.

  • Size: 5 mm diameter spot drill for precise center holes
  • Point angle: 90° spot point to ensure accurate initial hole and minimize wandering
  • Material: HSS‑E cobalt for enhanced strength and heat resistance under demanding cuts
  • Coating: TiAlN coating increases hardness, heat resistance, and lubricity for smoother cutting
  • Chip evacuation: Coating and geometry promote efficient chip flow, reducing clogging
  • Shank: Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC collets

When paired with full-scale drilling operations, this spot drill creates a precise starting point that guides larger drills, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of drill wandering. The cobalt-enhanced base and TiAlN coating deliver longer tool life in metals like steel and aluminum, while maintaining sharpness at higher speeds. The result is cleaner center holes, better hole alignment for tapping or boring, and fewer tool changes during a project. Suitable for both manual and CNC machining setups, it helps engineers and technicians achieve consistent, repeatable results across jobs.
