TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form A Ø1.6 mm – solid carbide, right-hand

A TECWERK centre drill DIN 333 Form A Ø1.6 mm designed to produce precise centring holes for turning and machining set-ups in metals and engineered plastics

• Solid carbide for high rigidity and wear resistance
• DIN 333 Form A centring geometry
• 60° countersink angle for standard centre holes
• Right-hand cutting for conventional drilling

Consistent centring for reliable machining set-ups

The DIN 333 geometry and 60° countersink angle deliver a standardised centring profile that reduces positional deviation and runout in subsequent operations. Engineered for creating centre holes in accordance with DIN 332, this tool ensures repeatable alignment, which translates into improved part accuracy and reduced rework. The small Ø1.6 mm point produces a defined start point for larger drills or live centres, aiding in process stability and predictable tool life.

Robust construction for demanding materials

Manufactured from solid carbide (VHM), the tool combines stiffness and wear resistance for high-performance machining. Its construction is suitable for high-strength steels, steel castings, grey and hard cast iron, manganese-hard steels, CrNi alloys, light and non-ferrous metals, as well as fibre-reinforced plastics and other duroplastics. The carbide substrate resists deflection under load, which helps maintain concentricity when presenting workpieces to lathes or drilling spindles and prolongs productive intervals between tool changes.

Practical handling and machining parameters for production use

With a 4 mm shank and 35.5 mm overall length, the tool is compatible with standard small-shank holders and collets used in both manual and automated equipment. The centring point is right-hand cutting and supplied without protective countersink, so careful clamping is advised to protect the point during handling. For machining in steel up to 800 N, a recommended feed is 0.09 mm/rev, which balances surface definition and tool longevity; this figure serves as a starting point and can be adapted to machine rigidity and workpiece hardness.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this centre drill?
The TECWERK centre drill is suitable for a wide range of materials including high-strength steels, steel castings, grey cast iron, hard cast iron, manganese-hard steels, CrNi alloys, light and non-ferrous metals, and fibre-reinforced plastics.

Is the geometry compatible with standard lathe centring operations?
Yes. The DIN 333 Form A profile and 60° countersink angle match centre-hole standards and are compatible with standard live centres and lathe setups.

What is the recommended feed for working in steel?
A recommended starting feed is 0.09 mm/rev for steel up to 800 N, which balances accuracy and tool life while maintaining a well-defined centre point.

How should the tool be held in the machine?
Use a rigid small-shank holder or a 4 mm collet chuck for secure clamping; as supplied without protective countersink, the point should be protected during mounting to avoid chipping.

What is the SKU for ordering and reference?
The product is stocked as TECWERK centre drill, SKU 2000861990NW, which identifies the Ø1.6 mm Form A, solid carbide centring drill for procurement and inventory.
