CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 120 deg. Sharpening - 2mm (5/64") Diameter is a precision-ground, solid carbide boring tool engineered for clean, accurate through-hole drilling on CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers. Built from premium HWM solid carbide and featuring a V-point 120 deg. tip geometry, this 2mm right-hand twist drill delivers consistent hole quality in panel processing, furniture manufacturing, and dowel connection applications across a wide range of wood-based materials.

Key Features

• Solid HWM Carbide Construction - premium-grade solid carbide resists wear at high production speeds, extending tool life compared to standard high-speed steel drills in repetitive CNC boring cycles.
• V-Point 120 deg. Sharpening - the V-point tip geometry creates a self-centering entry that reduces wandering, producing cleaner, more accurately positioned holes in panel and furniture components.
• 2 Precision Ground Cutting Edges (Z2) - dual precision-ground flutes ensure balanced cutting forces and smooth chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and improving hole finish quality.
• 2 Spiral Flutes - twin spiral flutes actively pull chips away from the cutting zone during through-hole drilling, minimizing clogging and maintaining consistent performance in production runs.
• Common Shank Design (S=D) - shank diameter equals drill diameter at 2mm, allowing direct, secure mounting into CMT 364 and 365 adapters and bushings without requiring a separate reduction collet.
• Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - standard right-hand cutting direction ensures compatibility with conventional CNC boring machine spindles used in furniture and panel processing operations.
• Compact 2mm x 25mm x 50mm Geometry - the 25mm cutting height and 50mm total length are sized specifically for close-pitch multi-spindle boring work, fitting within tight spindle layouts on production boring centers.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for use with CMT 364 and 365 series adapters, this twist drill integrates directly into existing CMT boring system setups - eliminating the need for additional collets or adapters and keeping changeover time low.
• The V-point 120 deg. tip combined with precision-ground cutting edges means cleaner entry and exit holes in chipboard, MDF, and plywood, reducing tearout that would otherwise require extra finishing steps in furniture panel production.
• Solid HWM carbide construction sustains sharpness through high-cycle production drilling, making this drill a practical choice for shops running continuous CNC boring operations where tool changes interrupt throughput.
• At 2mm diameter with a common shank (S=D), this drill covers fine dowel hole work where precision positioning is critical - applications where even small deviations in hole location affect assembly fit and product quality.
