Description

The Vortex Spot Drill is a precision 12mm spot drill built for metalworkers who need clean starts and precise center holes for reliable follow-on drilling. Crafted from HSS-E cobalt and finished with a TiAlN coating, it delivers durable performance and smoother cutting in demanding tasks.

  • Diameter: 12 mm — a robust starting point for subsequent drilling operations.
  • Material: HSS‑E Cobalt alloy — premium high-speed steel with cobalt for enhanced strength and heat resistance.
  • Coating: TiAlN coating — increases hardness, heat resistance, and lubricity to improve tool life and chip evacuation.
  • Point Angle: 90° — engineered for precise center holes with minimal wandering.
  • Geometry: Spot-drill design creates an accurate starting hole for follow-on drilling or machining.
  • Performance: Improved chip evacuation and reduced friction during cutting thanks to coating and geometry.

Designed to reduce wandering and improve accuracy, the Vortex Spot Drill ensures your next drilling or machining step starts exactly on target. The TiAlN coating helps manage heat and wear, extending tool life even in tougher materials, while the precise 90° point provides clean, reproducible center holes. Perfect for professional workshops and serious hobbyists seeking dependable starts and consistent results.
