A pilot or spot drill, also known as a starter drill, is typically required when the succeeding drill is longer than 10xD or smaller than Ø 1.00 mm. Starter drills can also be used to improve hole location due to their short, rigid geometries.
The high-performance Nirox drill is available in diameters from 0.30 - 3.00 mm. It was developed for use at low cutting speeds and unstable environments.
The High-Performance Quadro Plus Drill Reamer geometry was developed to optimize performance and tool life in aluminum, cast iron, and plastic applications.
The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.
