The Vortex Carbide Spotting Drill (16 mm diameter, 120° UnCoated) is a precision tool designed for accurate hole spotting and chamfering. It’s ideal for engineers, shop floor professionals, buyers, tradespeople, hobbyists, and even non-technical customers who need reliable starter holes that guide subsequent drilling and threading operations.

With its 120° geometry, this spotting drill delivers a sharp cutting edge for precise starts and true alignment. The uncoated carbide construction offers excellent heat resistance and durability across a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals. The coating-free design also promotes enhanced chip evacuation, reducing chip clogging and promoting smoother cutting performance.

• Precise 120° geometry for accurate starts: The sharper cutting edge ensures clean, true starting holes and minimizes wandering during initial drilling, improving overall hole alignment.
• Uncoated carbide for heat resistance and durability: Robust carbide stands up to heat and wear, delivering long tool life across steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other non‑ferrous metals.
• Enhanced chip evacuation for smoother cuts: The coating-free design promotes better chip flow, reducing clogging and maintaining consistent performance across materials.

In practice, this spotting drill translates to faster setups, reduced rework from misaligned holes, and cleaner chamfers that simplify downstream operations. Its durable construction and material versatility mean fewer tool changes and reliable results across a variety of metals, helping you meet deadlines with greater confidence.
