TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form A, Ø1.6 mm, HSS‑Co

TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form A for accurate preparation of centre holes in high‑strength and corrosion‑resistant steels

• Cobalt‑alloy HSS for extended tool life
• DIN 333 Form A centre‑drill geometry
• 60° countersink angle for precise centring
• Suitable for steels >800 N/mm² and CrNi

Precision centring for demanding workpieces

The TECWERK centre drill is designed to produce exact and repeatable centre holes prior to turning or deep drilling. Its DIN 333 geometry with a 60° countersink angle ensures a clear datum for subsequent operations, reducing run‑out and improving concentricity. The small Ø1.6 mm tip initiates the hole accurately, while the short 35.5 mm overall length keeps the tool rigid for controlled positioning, which is particularly important when preparing components made from tough or alloyed materials.

Robust material and cutting performance for longer service life

Made from HSS‑Co, the tool offers enhanced hot‑hardness and wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels, which translates into longer intervals between tool changes and reduced downtime. The right‑hand cutting geometry and the optimised flute form support chip formation and evacuation during centring, while the Shank Ø4 mm provides secure mounting in standard collets and adaptors. These characteristics combine to raise throughput and lower total machining costs in small‑batch and series production alike.

Clear machining guidance and practical application

For machining structural and alloyed steels with tensile strengths up to approximately 800 N/mm², a conservative feed of around 0.02 mm/rev is recommended to establish the pilot hole without undue stress on the tip. The tool is explicitly intended for the production of centre holes and does not include a protective countersink, which ensures full compliance with the specified centring geometry. The compact design and standard shank diameter make integration into existing tool‑holding systems straightforward, supporting efficient workflow in the workshop.

FAQ

What material is the centre drill made from?
The TECWERK centre drill is manufactured from HSS‑Co, a cobalt‑alloy high‑speed steel selected for improved wear resistance and hot‑hardness.

Which diameter and shank size are provided?
The tool has a Ø1.6 mm cutting diameter and a Shank Ø4 mm, suitable for standard collets and adaptors.

Is the centre drill suitable for stainless and high‑strength steels?
Yes, the design and HSS‑Co material make the drill suitable for steels with tensile strengths above 800 N/mm², including many CrNi grades.

What standard does the geometry follow?
The centre drill follows DIN 333 Form A geometry with a 60° countersink angle for precise centring.

What is the recommended feed for centring in steel?
A typical feed for initial centring in steels up to 800 N/mm² is around 0.02 mm/rev to ensure controlled entry and accurate pilot formation.
