BORDO HSS Centre Drill
- Bright Finish HSS No.1 Centre Drill 118° / 60°
- 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.

Reduced Shank HSSBORDO Reduced Shank HSS 3/8″ Shank Fractional
- Reduced shank HSS twist drill.
- 118° notched point with 30° helix.
- Notched point is a variation on the standard chisel point, providing faster starting and reduced drill wander.
- 118° point angles are ideal for use in materials such as mild steel and cast iron.
- The 118° point creates easily controlled chips which are wide and thin.
- Bordo reduced shank HSS drills are ground and then a black finish is achieved by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
- This surface aids chip flow and heat dissipation.
- The drill is then ground a second time to achieve a bright finish on the shank and cutting edges.

Colour BandBORDO Yellow Band HSS Aluminium Drilling
- Bordo Metric Yellow Band HSS Twist Drills for Aluminium and its alloys.
- DIN338
- 130° web thinned point with two helical flutes with 35 degrees of helix angle.
- The alloying elements which achieve varying Aluminium Alloys have an effect on the machining properties of these materials.
- This generally creates a difficult long chip formation and material which has tendencies to stick to the tool, placing a unique set of demands on tooling. Yellow Band Series contends with these difficulties.
- For machining materials with Hardness < 200 HB : Tensile Strength <700 N/mm2.

Long Series HSSBORDO Long Series Black HSS Metric
- ANSI B94-11
- 118° chisel point with 30° helix.
- Chisel point is suitable for general purpose drilling.
- Black Finish Twist Drills (also called blue finish) achieve their distinctive colour by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
- This surface helps to keep lubricant on the tool, particularly important on the cutting edges, thus reducing friction and cold welding. The result is increased tool life.
- Black finish tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow and heat dissipation.
