The Solid Carbide Spot Drill delivers exceptional centering accuracy and chamfering efficiency for steels up to HRC55. Engineered for rigid CNC setups, this solid carbide spot drill eliminates tool deflection. Durable Mills manufactures high-durability carbide spot drills for precision B2B machining.




Engineered for high-rigidity CNC machining, the Solid Carbide Spot Drill from Durable Mills provides superior hole-starting precision and edge chamfering in a single operation. Made from premium micro-grain tungsten carbide, this versatile 90 degree spotting drill prevents secondary drill wandering, improves drilling concentricity, and extends overall tool assembly life in demanding metalworking environments.

A 90° spot drill creates a precise conical starting dimple that aligns with the chisel edge of subsequent twist drills, eliminating walking or drift on CNC machines. Additionally, it allows you to spot and chamfer in one pass by drilling slightly deeper than the secondary drill diameter.
Yes. Because of its rigid carbide substrate and solid flute design, this tool functions effectively as a 45°/90° edge chamfer milling cutter along linear or contoured workpiece contours.
The 10% cobalt binder provides high fracture toughness while maintaining superior hot hardness (HRA 91.2–91.7), resisting micro-chipping when engaging tough, pre-hardened alloy steels.
Yes, Durable Mills supplies standard lengths from 50mm up to 150mm and provides custom coatings (AlTiN, TiSiN) and non-standard shank diameters for volume industrial buyers.
