Description
The Vortex Spot Drill in HSS-E cobalt is a precision 16 mm spot drill designed to create accurate center holes before drilling or milling. Built for professional workshops and serious DIYers, it delivers clean starts and reliable performance in demanding materials.
- Diameter: 16 mm
- Material: HSS-E cobalt for increased strength and heat resistance
- Tip angle: 120° point angle for precise, centered hole initiation
- Coating: Uncoated surface for maximum workpiece contact and efficient chip evacuation
- Function: Specifically designed to establish a center hole for subsequent drilling or machining stages
Benefits: By generating a precise center hole, this spot drill minimizes wandering and ensures subsequent drills bite cleanly on the first attempt. The cobalt-enriched HSS maintains sharper edges under heat, enabling faster feeds and longer tool life in tougher metals. The uncoated finish improves contact with the workpiece and promotes effective chip evacuation, contributing to smoother starts and better hole accuracy across common materials such as steel, cast iron, and alloys when used with proper lubrication.
