High-Performance HSS-E Center Drill Type A for Exact Center Drilling
The HSS-E Center Drill Type A is an essential tool for exact hole preparation in modern metalworking. Featuring a classic 60° countersink angle without a protective chamfer, this model produces an absolutely clean and precisely positioned center hole. The cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel (HSS-E) provides increased red hardness and excellent wear resistance, making the tool ideal for demanding materials. Thanks to the double-ended design, professional users also benefit from high cost-effectiveness in everyday machining operations.

Applications
This tool convinces when creating center holes on lathes and milling machines in workshops, mechanical engineering, and series production. Due to the robust HSS-E cutting material, the spot drill is excellently suited for the process-reliable machining of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and long-chipping aluminum alloys. It lays the perfect foundation for subsequent twist drills by reliably preventing the following drill from wandering.
Special features
A decisive feature of this centering system is the availability of two different shank designs. The cylindrical variant opens up flexible application possibilities in conventional chucks, while the version with a flat supports particularly rotation-proof fixation in corresponding holders. Together with the practical packaging unit of 5 pieces, consistent and efficient process support is ensured.
