TECWERK Spot Weld Drill D.8 × L40 mm — HSS‑Co, DIN 1897, cylindrical shank

TECWERK Spotle Drill D.8×L40 mm is a high-precision spot-weld drill for exact, burr-free extraction of spot welds in metal fabrication and repair

• HSS-Co construction for extended tool life
• Dimensions compliant with DIN 1897
• Self-cutting centre tip for exact centring
• Cylindrical shank, Spotle Drill configuration

Consistent cutting performance for workshop use

The drill is manufactured from HSS‑Co, a cobalt-alloy high-speed steel that offers improved wear and heat resistance compared with plain high-speed grades. This material choice supports repeated drilling operations without rapid degradation, which reduces tool changes and downtime. Profile-ground flutes and right-hand cutting geometry ensure stable chip formation and predictable cutting forces, contributing to consistent hole quality across series production and repair tasks.

Clean, burr‑free extraction of spot welds

Equipped with a self-cutting centre tip, the tool is optimised for removing spot welds with minimal secondary finishing. The geometry is tailored to pull material away cleanly rather than tearing, producing burr-free holes that save subsequent deburring time. This characteristic is particularly valuable in automotive body repair and sheet-metal joining work where surface integrity and fit are critical.

Standardised dimensions and secure clamping

Produced to DIN 1897 dimensions, the drill’s overall length and diameter conform to a robust international standard, simplifying tool selection and replacement. The cylindrical shank and Spotle Drill shank version enable secure clamping in common drill chucks and holders, ensuring concentricity and reducing run-out. Together with the profile-ground finish, these features support repeatable accuracy and help maintain hole tolerance in demanding workshop environments.

FAQ

What materials is this spot weld drill suitable for?
The TECWERK spot weld drill (SKU 2000860127NW) is designed for drilling out spot welds in standard sheet-metal applications; material compatibility is supported by its HSS‑Co construction, which offers good wear resistance for common ferrous metals.

What does HSS‑Co mean for tool life?
HSS‑Co denotes cobalt-alloy high-speed steel; in the TECWERK spot weld drill this provides increased heat resistance and durability compared with standard HSS, extending tool life under repetitive drilling conditions.

How does the self-cutting centre tip improve results?
The self-cutting centre tip centres the drill on the weld spot and cuts rather than tears, enabling burr-free extraction and reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.

Is the shank compatible with standard chucks?
Yes, the cylindrical shank in the Spotle Drill configuration is compatible with typical drill chucks and holders, enabling secure clamping and improved concentricity during use.

What does conformity to DIN 1897 mean for users?
Conformity to DIN 1897 ensures the drill’s dimensions follow a recognised standard, simplifying replacement ordering and guaranteeing predictable fit and performance in standard holders and tool systems.
