Description
The Vortex Carbide Centre Drills – 60° TiAlN coated, model VOR45-CD60 – are precision cutting tools designed for accurate center marking, hole centering, and chamfering across a range of materials. With a 0.5 mm diameter and a solid carbide core, these drills deliver exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and heat tolerance for dependable starts and clean edges.
Built for demanding shop use, these centre drills pair a sharp 60° angle with precise flute geometry to provide stable alignment and minimal runout during machining. The TiAlN coating reduces friction and promotes efficient chip evacuation, helping you maintain cutting efficiency and extend tool life even when working stainless steel, alloy steel, or hardened materials.
- Precise centering and clean starts: The 60° center angle and sharp cutting edges ensure accurate hole alignment and smooth entry, reducing misdrives and improving start quality.
- TiAlN-coated for reduced friction and longer life: The coating minimizes heat and wear, delivering smoother cuts and extended tool life across a variety of metals.
- Solid carbide durability for versatile material compatibility: Robust carbide construction delivers outstanding hardness and heat resistance for reliable performance in demanding materials.
Whether you’re setting up a CNC mill, drill press, or manual setup, these centre drills streamline your workflow by delivering quick, reliable starts and consistent hole quality. The combination of carbide strength and TiAlN coating helps you cut with confidence, reduce tool wear, and stay on schedule across stainless steel, alloy steel, and tougher materials.
