Description

The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill is a precision tool designed for accurate hole starts in metalworking projects. With a 90° spotting angle and a 3 mm diameter, it guides subsequent drilling for clean, true holes and reduced drift. The ALTiN coating enhances wear resistance and heat management, helping you maintain consistent performance even after repeated use.

  • 90° spotting geometry: Creates a precise starting point that guides the drill, minimizing wandering and ensuring accurate hole alignment from the first cut.
  • ALTiN coating for wear and heat control: Reduces friction and chip adhesion, improves heat dissipation, and promotes smoother chip evacuation to extend tool life and maintain cutting efficiency.
  • Carbide construction with sharp cutting edges: Delivers exceptional hardness and durability for consistent, reliable starts and long-lasting performance in demanding applications.

Designed to integrate smoothly into routine machining, this spotting drill helps you complete hole starts with confidence, reduces rework, and supports steady production flow. The combination of rigid carbide geometry, protective ALTiN coating, and a precise 90° angle translates to fewer tool changes, less downtime, and more consistent results across your projects.
