TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form B — HSS with protective countersink, 60/120°

The TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form B is a hardened high-speed-steel tool for creating standard-compliant centre holes with an integrated protective countersink, suitable for general workshop and industrial metalworking applications

• HSS construction for consistent edge retention
• DIN 333 Form B standardised geometry
• Protective countersink 60/120° for secure seating
• Right-hand cutting, suited for steel machining

Precise centring that meets standards and reduces rework

The tool’s DIN 333 Form B geometry ensures repeatable, standard-compliant centre holes ideal for subsequent drilling or turning operations. Manufactured from HSS, the bit offers a fine balance between toughness and hardness, reducing the risk of premature wear under typical workshop conditions. The integrated protective countersink with a 60/120° angle creates a clean seat for lathe centres and reduces burr formation, which in turn lowers the need for secondary deburring operations. For machining at moderate loads, the specified 0.02 mm/rev feed in steel up to 800 N delivers stable chip formation and consistent hole quality.

Robust cutting behaviour for productive workflows

Designed as a right-hand cutting centring tool, this centre drill provides directional stability and controlled entry into the material, helping to reduce tool walk and runout during start-up. The tool’s profile supports reliable guidance in pre-drilled pilot positions and when used in combination with tailstock centres. In production environments where repeatability matters, the standardised geometry contributes to faster set-up times and predictable results, improving overall process efficiency without sacrificing finish or concentricity.

Easy adoption into machining regimes and maintenance planning

The unit’s clear specification and standard compliance simplify tool selection across multiple machines and shifts, promoting inventory consistency and predictable tool-change planning. As a hardened centre drill with a protective countersink, it integrates into existing machining cycles with minimal adjustment, supporting leaner process control and reducing scrap rates. Combined with a simple inspection routine and documented feed values, the bit supports maintenance strategies that favour uptime and repeatable quality.

FAQ

What material is the centre drill made from?
The centre drill is manufactured from HSS (high-speed steel), providing balanced hardness and toughness for reliable centring operations.

Which standards does this tool comply with?
The geometry follows DIN 333 Form B for centre drills and is intended for producing centre holes according to DIN 332 Sheet 1 Form B.

What countersink angle is provided and why is it useful?
A 60/120° protective countersink is integrated to create a secure seat for centres and to reduce burr formation during initial entry.

What feed rate is recommended for steel machining?
A feed of 0.02 mm/rev is specified for steel with forces up to 800 N to ensure stable chip formation and consistent hole quality.

Is the cutting direction specified for the tool?
Yes, the tool is right-hand cutting, designed to provide stable entry and reduce the tendency to walk at start-up.
