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.
Sutton Tools Inox jobber drills are an industrial quality drilling solution specially designed for superior performance in stainless steel. Tailored to overcome the difficult-to-machine material properties of stainless steel, Inox drill bits have a fast spiral, short flute and unique stepped core design providing a smooth and effortless cutting action never before seen. For added wear resistance, these drill bits feature the latest generation Futura Nano PVD coated tip. Inox drill bits have been independently tested to achieve 70% more tool life in stainless steel compared to standard drill bits.
These Rotary Only ceramic tile drills provide outstanding performance and extended tool life in hard ceramic materials.
Unique cutting edge geometry in conjunction with high temperature brazing to ensure reliable and accurate drilling in multiple hole applications.
Use of water cooling will extend bit life.
Although these drill bits are not recommended for drilling vitrified porcelain, their superior multi-facet tungsten carbide tip enables them to drill most materials of this type, albeit with a reduced tool life.
These ceramic tile drills can also be used to successfully drill in brick, concrete and other masonry materials.
