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 Twist Drills for Stainless Steel.
DIN338
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.
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.

Bordo Metric Red Band HSS-Co TiAlN Coated Twist Drills for Tough Treatable Steel.
DIN338
130° UX point with two helical parabolic flutes with 33 degrees of helix angle.
The mechanical properties of materials are influenced diversely by the addition of alloying elements and heat treatment processes, resulting in some high-strength, quenched and tempered steels or hardened steels.
This range has its own unique set of machining requirements which are satisfied by the Red Band – Tough Treatable Steel – Series.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 470 HB : Tensile Strength <1500 N/mm2.

One piece solid core design is significantly more durable than the conventional two piece design that utilises a hex sleeve on a standard round drill bit.
Specifically engineered for use in impact drivers these bits are also fully compatible with conventional rotary drills.
135° split point delivers a precision start and prevents bit wander for fast, accurate holes.
Premium quality M2 HSS ensures extreme performance and long bit life.
1/4″ hex shank facilitates fast tool loading in cordless impact drivers and quick change adaptors.
