TECWERK NC pilot drill D 5 mm, solid carbide, 90° point

The TECWERK NC pilot drill D 5 mm is a solid-carbide pilot drill designed for position-accurate and rapid spot drilling on NC machines and drilling centres, enabling centring and chamfering of threaded holes in a single operation.

• Solid carbide for high wear resistance
• 90° point for reliable centring
• Cylindrical shank to DIN 6535-HA
• Diameter tolerance h6 for precise fits

Faster, more accurate hole starts for serial production

A pilot drill in solid carbide delivers consistent results where repeatability matters. The short 15 mm flute and 90° point make it ideally suited for producing exact starting points and small countersinks before tapping. On NC equipment the tool reduces secondary operations by combining centring and chamfering in one pass, which translates into reduced cycle time and fewer set-up interventions. The compact geometry supports stable chip evacuation and repeatable contact with the workpiece, improving hole quality across batches.

Robust design that handles demanding materials

Constructed from solid carbide, the tool is rated for a broad range of materials: high-strength steels, cast steel, grey cast iron, stainless steels and non-ferrous metals. The right-hand cutting geometry and a diameter tolerance of h6 ensure predictable hole sizes for follow-up threading operations. For tougher steels, a recommended feed of 0.07 mm/rev at cutting forces up to 800 N balances tool life and surface finish. The DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank supports secure clamping and concentricity in standard toolholders, reducing vibration and extending service life.

Made to integrate with NC workflows and reduce rework

The compact overall length and standard shank make this pilot drill straightforward to program into existing tool libraries on CNC lathes, milling machines and drilling centres. By combining positioning, centring and deburring in one operation, the tool lowers handling and inspection needs — delivering consistent results and less rework. For workshops looking to scale precision without complex procedures, the combination of standard interfaces and wear-resistant material enables steady production rates and reliable hole geometry across shifts.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this pilot drill?
The TECWERK NC pilot drill D 5 mm is designed for high-strength steels, cast steel, grey cast iron, stainless steels and various non-ferrous metals, offering reliable starts and clean centring.

Can the tool centre and chamfer in one operation?
Yes — the geometry of this solid-carbide pilot drill allows centring and small chamfering of threaded holes in a single pass, reducing the number of machining steps.

What shank standard is used and why does it matter?
A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535-HA is used for secure clamping and concentricity in standard toolholders; this improves stability and repeatability in NC machining.

What feed should be used for steel applications?
For steel up to 800 N cutting force a feed of around 0.07 mm/rev is recommended to balance tool life and finish when using this pilot drill (SKU 2000865803NW).
