Description

The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill is a long-length, 1/4" diameter carbide tool designed to deliver precise hole starts in deep or hard-to-reach work areas. Its 90° geometry creates a sharp cutting edge for accurate spotting and clean chamfers before drilling.

Coated with AlTiN, this drill offers enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and heat tolerance, helping it stand up to demanding materials. The extended length and coated surface promote efficient chip evacuation and longer tool life, so you can tackle challenging jobs with confidence.

  • Long Reach Design: Extended length provides real reach into deep pockets and tight spaces, enabling accurate spotting without repositioning the workpiece.
  • 90° Cutting Edge for Precision: The sharp 90° edge delivers stable, self-centering starts and clean chamfers for consistent hole alignment.
  • AlTiN Coating for Durability: The AlTiN finish boosts hardness and wear/heat resistance, reduces friction, promotes efficient chip evacuation, and extends tool life with smoother cuts and better surface finishes.

Using this spotting drill streamlines your workflow: you can start holes precisely on the first try, minimize rework, and keep production moving. The combination of long reach, precise start geometry, and a durable coating means you get reliable performance across materials and applications, delivering consistent results and a higher-quality finish with less downtime.
