Centre Drills are used with a lathe to centre drill stock for mounting in the lathe.
They are designed to drill a small diameter pilot hole followed by a 60° countersink which provides a bearing surface for the 60° point of the lathe centre.
Centre drills are also used extensively with milling machines to accurately start holes.
The hole locations can be dialled in using the milling machine’s calibrated hand wheels.
The hole is then started using the centre drill.
The large diameter shank on the centre drill holds the drill point right on centre.
Once the hole is started, the centre drill is replaced with a drill of the desired diameter and the finished hole is then drilled.
Bordo Metric Blue Band HSS-Co TiAlN Coated Stub Drills for Stainless Steel.
DIN1897
Multi-faceted point with two helical flutes with 35 degrees of helix angle.
The machining of stainless steels is difficult due to its work hardening properties, toughness and poor thermal conductivity, which places high demands on the cutting tools.
They are designed primarily for machining operations in lathes (screw machines) but can also be used in manual hand held drills.
The Blue Band – Stainless Steel – Series has been specifically designed to suit these difficult machining requirements.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 350 HB : Tensile Strength <1250 N/mm2.

Stub drills (screw machine twist drills) have a shorter overall length than Twist drills for maximum rigidity and longer tool life.
135° Split Point (crankshaft point).
Split point is self centering and the short distance from the drill axis to the outer corners results in faster penetration, reducing the need for end thrust.
They are designed primarily for machining operations in lathes (screw machines) but can also be used in manual hand held drills.
Bordo Stub Drills have two helical flutes with 30 degrees of helix angle. This provides fast chip ejection and very stable drilling operation.
Black Finish Stub Drills (also called blue finish) achieve their distinctive colour by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
Black finish tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow and heat dissipation.
