Description

Vortex Spot Drill is a precision 16 mm drill bit designed to create accurate center holes for subsequent drilling or machining. Built for machinists and workshops that demand durable tools and repeatable starts, it delivers reliable spot drilling in a variety of metals.

  • Brand: Vortex
  • Diameter: 16 mm
  • Point angle: 90° for precise starting holes
  • Material: HSS‑E cobalt for enhanced strength and heat resistance
  • Coating: TiAlN coating increases hardness, heat resistance, and lubricity
  • Chip evacuation: TiAlN coating improves chip flow and reduces friction during drilling
  • Applications: creates accurate center holes for guiding subsequent drilling or machining

This spot drill helps you start holes with confidence, reducing wandering and improving the alignment of subsequent cuts. The cobalt-infused core stands up to tougher metals, while the TiAlN coating minimizes heat buildup and wear, extending tool life and delivering cleaner holes. The 90° tip delivers a crisp, centered starting point, making it ideal for precision work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and professional workshops.
