Centre Drill – Accurate Hole Starting Tools

Centre drills are essential tools used to create precise starting holes and centre points on workpieces before drilling or turning operations. They help in accurately positioning the drill bit, preventing it from wandering, and ensuring concentric alignment for subsequent machining processes.

Manufactured from high-speed steel or carbide, our centre drills provide excellent strength, wear resistance, and heat tolerance, making them suitable for use on various materials, including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. They feature a short, rigid design with a pilot tip and countersink portion, ensuring stable, chatter-free drilling even at high speeds.

Centre drills are commonly used in lathe operations to create centre holes for supporting workpieces with live or dead centres, ensuring stability and precision during turning. They are also useful in milling and drilling operations to prepare accurate starting points, reducing the risk of drill bit breakage and enhancing hole quality.

Available in various sizes and angles, our centre drills help improve machining accuracy, extend tool life, and increase productivity in your workshop.
