Center & Spotting Drill Bits

While, at first sight, drilling seems to be an easy task, making a super precise hole can be challenging. The reason is drill walking, which is common when using a standard drill bit. To eliminate that unwanted effect, it is recommended to use center and spotting drill bits. They have been specially designed for precision drilling, and, if used properly, ensure the most accurate final product. So, if your drilling project requires the highest level of accuracy, on our website you're sure to find the right center and spotting drill bits at reasonable prices to fit your needs and budget.

Both center and spot drill bits are designed to serve a specific purpose. A center drill bit is primarily used for drilling a starter hole in durable materials like steel, cast iron, copper aluminum, and different alloys. It is sturdier and shorter than regular drill bits, resulting in its ability to withstand bending under higher pressures, which reduce the risk of drill sliding. Unlike a center drill bit, its spot counterpart is more efficient for softer metals. It is also perfect for different plastics and wood. A spot drill bit allows for making a precise hole without breaking or splitting the material.
