Description
The Vortex Tools Centre Drill is a precision HSS centre drill designed to create accurate centre holes in a variety of workpieces. Built to BS3 British Standard, it provides a reliable starting point for drilling and turning operations.
- Material: High-speed steel (HSS) for durability and heat resistance.
- Angle: 60° centre point for precise locating and a clean, true starting hole.
- Standard: BS3 British Standard specification ensures compatibility with common tooling and holders.
- Applications: Ideal for initiating centre holes on metalwork, supporting accurate subsequent drilling or turning.
- Durability: Engineered for repeated use in demanding workshop environments.
By creating a perfectly centered starting point, this centre drill minimizes wandering and aligns subsequent operations with greater accuracy. The 60° point helps guide the drill through tough materials while reducing wear on both the drill and the workpiece. The HSS construction withstands heat generated during drilling, extending tool life for machinists, workshop technicians, and serious DIY enthusiasts. This centre drill is a dependable choice for metalworking tasks that require precision centering, whether you’re preparing components for turning on a lathe or setting up delicate pilot holes in steel, aluminum, brass, and other common metals.
