Center Drills are tools used to create a center hole in a workpiece, often as part of the process of creating another hole. Center Drills can also be used to countersink or chamfer the edges of a pre-drilled hole. They come in many different sizes and shapes, and are commonly made from carbide.
Types of Center Drills
There are several types of Center Drills available for purchase including standard center drills, center drill sets, and specialty center drills for specific tasks. Standard Center Drills are most common and can be found in a variety of sizes ranging from 0.1" up to 3/4". A set typically contains several different sized drills that can be used for multiple jobs. Specialty Center Drills may have different flutes, points, or other configurations that make them ideal for certain applications.
How Center Drills are Made
Center Drill Countersinks are typically made with carbide tips due to their hardness and ability to withstand high temperatures. The body is usually made from hardened steel which helps ensure accuracy when drilling into material surfaces. Many companies offer custom configurations depending on the needs of the customer.
