Description

The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill is a 5mm tool engineered to deliver precise hole starts with a 90° spotting angle. It helps guide the drill, reducing wandering and ensuring accurate entry for your holes.

Built from carbide and finished with an ALTiN coating, it combines extreme hardness with efficient heat management. This pairing delivers longer tool life and steadier performance under demanding cutting conditions.

  • 90° Spotting Angle for Precise Starts: The sharp 90-degree point aligns the drill exactly where you intend, reducing drift and producing clean entry for subsequent drilling.
  • ALTiN Coating for Heat and Wear Resistance: The ALTiN coating lowers friction and chip adhesion, improving chip evacuation and extending tool life even in tough materials.
  • Carbide Construction for Durability and Consistent Results: Hardened carbide body retains edge geometry, delivering repeatable starts and reliable performance over many cuts.

The Vortex Spotting Drill helps you start projects faster and with greater confidence. By delivering precise hole starts, it reduces rework and aligns the subsequent drill path, improving overall workflow. The rugged carbide core and temperature-management coating minimize downtime from wear and tool changes, so you can complete more work with consistent results, project after project.
