Description

The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill is a precision tool designed to create clean, accurate starting holes in metalworking projects. With a 90° tip and a 6 mm diameter, it’s ideal for engineers, machinists, tradespeople, hobbyists, and fabricators who need reliable hole starting guidance before through-drilling. The combination of carbide hardness and a protective ALTiN coating delivers consistent performance across challenging materials.

Made from solid carbide, this spotting drill delivers exceptional edge retention and wear resistance, even under demanding cutting conditions. The 90° angle promotes a precise starting point, reducing wander and improving subsequent hole quality. ALTiN coating further enhances performance by lowering friction and helping chips evacuate smoothly, which translates to steadier cuts and less heat buildup.

  • 90° Spotting geometry: Delivers a precise starting point to guide subsequent drilling, minimizing wandering and helping you hit the target hole diameter every time.
  • ALTiN coating for wear and heat resistance: Reduces friction and chip adhesion, improving cutting efficiency and extending tool life in tough materials.
  • Carbide construction with sharp cutting edges: Provides exceptional hardness and durability for consistent, accurate results over many workpieces.

This spotting drill supports faster setup, fewer reworks, and more consistent hole quality across production runs. Its reliable performance helps you complete projects with greater confidence, saving time and reducing downtime while delivering precise starts that improve overall machining results.
