Description

The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill, 16 mm diameter, uses a precise 90° tip to start holes with accuracy and reduce wandering during drilling. It’s designed for engineers, machinists, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable hole starts before drilling through tougher materials. With carbide construction and an ALTiN coating, this drill combines hardness with wear resistance and efficient heat management for longer tool life and consistent performance.

  • 90° Spot Geometry for Precise Starts: The 90-degree tip creates a true starting hole, helping to locate and dial in your drill, reduce wandering, and improve hole alignment for clean entry every time.
  • ALTiN Coating for Wear Resistance and Heat Management: A specialized ALTiN coating reduces friction and chip adhesion, promoting smoother chip evacuation and extended tool life under demanding feeds.
  • Carbide Construction with Sharp Cutting Edges: Hard carbide core and sharp edges deliver consistent results, maintaining hole quality and reducing rework across multiple cutting passes.

This combination lets you move from rough drilling to precise hole finishing with less downtime. The Vortex Spotting Drill helps you lock in starting points quickly, minimizes tool wear, and sustains stable performance across materials. With its rugged construction and coating-enhanced efficiency, you can trust it to deliver reliable starts, cleaner holes, and longer service life—helping you complete projects faster and with greater accuracy.
