CMT 363.025.11 V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill by CMT is a precision-engineered 2.5mm (7/64 in.) solid carbide drill bit designed for high-accuracy through-hole drilling on CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers. Built from premium HWM solid carbide and sharpened to a V-point 120 deg. geometry, this right-hand twist drill delivers consistent, clean entry holes for dowel connections, panel processing, and furniture manufacturing production lines. With 2 precision ground cutting edges and a common shank-to-diameter design (S=D), it integrates directly with CMT 364/365 adapter systems for reliable, repeatable performance in high-speed production environments.

Key Features

• Premium HWM Solid Carbide Construction - the full-carbide body provides exceptional wear resistance, making this drill suitable for sustained, high-speed production drilling across demanding panel and furniture manufacturing cycles without frequent replacement.
• V-Point 120 deg. Sharpening - the V-point tip geometry promotes accurate self-centering on entry, reducing wander and producing clean, precise through-holes ideal for dowel connections and joinery work.
• 2 Precision Ground Cutting Edges (Z2) - dual ground cutting edges ensure balanced cutting forces and smooth chip evacuation, resulting in consistent hole quality and reduced vibration during operation.
• 2 Spiral Flutes - twin spiral flutes efficiently clear chips from the bore during drilling, helping maintain hole integrity and preventing heat buildup in continuous production runs.
• Common Shank Design (S=D) - the shank diameter equals the drill diameter at 2.5mm, allowing direct, precise fit into CMT 364/365 adapters and boring machine spindle bushings without adapter mismatches.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with conventional CNC boring machine spindles, making this drill a straightforward drop-in for production setups.
• Designed for Use with CMT 364/365 Systems - engineered specifically to work with CMT 364 and 365 adapter items, giving operators confidence in a fully integrated, matched tooling system.

Why This Product

• For woodworking and furniture production shops running CNC boring centers, the HWM solid carbide construction and V-point 120 deg. geometry combine to deliver accurate, consistent dowel holes across high-volume runs - reducing scrap rates and downtime caused by tool wear or off-center entry.
• The common shank-to-diameter design (S=D at 2.5mm) means this drill slots directly into CMT 364/365 adapters without any modification, saving setup time and eliminating fitment guesswork on the boring center.
• With a 27mm cutting height and 55mm total length optimized for CNC boring machine spindle geometry, this bit is purpose-sized for the through-hole depths common in panel processing and flat-pack furniture manufacturing.
• The pairing of 2 precision ground cutting edges with twin spiral flutes means cleaner holes in chipboard, MDF, plywood, and hardwood - materials that are punishing on lower-grade tooling - supporting longer intervals between tool changes in demanding production environments.
