The VORTEX Carbide Drill is a solid carbide drill engineered for demanding metalworking tasks. It’s ideal for engineers, machinists, fabricators, and serious DIYers who demand dependable, repeatable drilling performance.

With an 11.7 mm diameter and a 3xD length, this drill balances rigidity with depth versatility for a wide range of drilling depths. The solid carbide core delivers exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and heat tolerance, while the TiXCo4 coating provides a low-friction surface that reduces chip adhesion and improves chip evacuation for smoother drilling.

• Solid carbide construction for long tool life: The hard, wear-resistant carbide body maintains sharpness and accuracy through many holes and tougher materials, reducing replacement frequency.
• TiXCo4 coating for durability and low friction: A hard, low-friction surface minimizes heat buildup, cuts chip sticking, and enhances evacuation, delivering smoother cuts and extended tool life.
• 3xD length design for rigidity and depth versatility: The 3xD flute length provides strong rigidity for straight, clean holes while allowing flexible drilling depths without sacrificing control.

Together, these features translate to consistent hole quality, reduced downtime, and more confident performance across a variety of materials and drilling depths. The VORTEX drill helps you complete projects faster with reliable results and fewer tool changes.
