DRILL SC-Single Point Ø 1.0mm – 3mm Shank

£5.06

These solid carbide* drills have two flutes and are designed for machining in one downward direction only. These long-life tools are available in various cutting diameters, lengths, and shank diameters.

For precision holes, using a drill compared to helixing with an end mill is a better solution. A drilled hole will give you a consistent diameter all the way through the material, while an end mill deflects slightly and creates a tapered hole. Also, for a high volume of holes, using a drill is much faster. If you need to a deep hole, sometimes a drill is your only option due to the longer cutting lengths.

*The 1/8″ and 3mm shank drills have high-speed steel shanks with solid carbide tips
