Vortex Tools Centre Drill - HSS-60° British Standard - BS2

The Vortex Centre Drill is a precision HSS centre drill designed to create accurate center holes in metalwork. Built for professionals and serious hobbyists, it delivers a clean starting point for subsequent drilling or turning operations with dependable consistency.

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS) for sharpness retention and heat resistance during repetitive cutting.
• Angle: 60° centre point that establishes a true starting location, reducing wander in the first cut.
• Standard: BS2 British Standard compliance ensures consistent dimensions and compatibility with BS2 tooling ecosystems.
• Design: Short, sturdy body with a clearly defined point to promote fast, accurate centering on a range of workpieces.
• Applications: Ideal for creating precise center holes on metal parts prior to drilling larger holes or turning operations; suitable for steel, cast iron, and other common metals.
• Durability: Engineered for repeated use with good heat tolerance, supporting longer service life in demanding workshops.

With the Vortex Centre Drill, you gain reliable centering performance that improves hole concentricity and toolpath accuracy. The 60° tip provides a precise starting point, helping to prevent drill wander and ensuring smoother progression to larger drills or finishing operations. Its HSS construction stands up to heat generation in metalworking environments, reducing the need for frequent resharpening and delivering consistent results across tasks.
