Description

Engineered for precision metalworking, the Vortex Spot Drill in 8 mm diameter delivers a clean, accurate center starting hole for subsequent drilling or machining. Designed for machinists, fabricators, and serious DIYers who demand consistent spot starts and dependable performance.

  • Diameter: 8 mm
  • Material: HSS-E Cobalt alloy for enhanced strength and heat resistance
  • Coating: TiAlN coating for increased hardness, heat resistance, and lubricity
  • Geometry: 90° point angle for precise spot drilling and accurate center holes
  • Chip Evacuation: Coating and geometry help improve chip flow and reduce friction during drilling
  • Applications: Ideal for creating centered starts before deeper drilling or milling on steel, stainless steel, and other metals

The Vortex Spot Drill reduces wandering and produces reliable center marks, enabling more accurate subsequent holes and smoother finishes. The cobalt-enhanced HSS construction stands up to heat during challenging cuts, extending tool life in demanding shop environments. With the TiAlN coating, edge wear is minimized and cutting action remains smooth, even at higher speeds, helping you complete projects faster with consistent results.
