CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 60 deg. Point - 3/32" x 2-11/64" by CMT is a precision-ground, through-hole boring drill engineered for use on CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers. Built from solid tungsten carbide (HWM grade), this right-hand 2-flute twist drill delivers consistent, clean entry points in wood-based panel materials - making it the go-to choice for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking production lines that demand accuracy and durability in high-cycle drilling applications.

Key Features

• Solid Carbide (HWM) Construction - Premium tungsten carbide material provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life significantly in high-speed production drilling environments compared to high-speed steel alternatives.
• V-Point 120 deg. Sharpening - The V-point tip geometry produces a clean, centered entry hole with minimal tear-out, delivering high-quality bore quality in solid hardwood, MDF, chipboard, plywood, and laminates.
• 60 deg. Point Angle - The acute 60 deg. cutting angle is optimized for through-hole boring on CNC machinery, ensuring precise positioning and consistent hole depth across repeated production cycles.
• Common Shank Design (S = D) - The shank diameter of 2.5mm equals the drill diameter of 2.5mm, allowing direct compatibility with CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings for seamless mounting on standard boring machine spindles - no special tooling required.
• 2-Flute Cutting Configuration - Dual cutting edges balance chip evacuation and cutting efficiency, reducing heat buildup and maintaining surface quality over extended production runs.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - Standard right-hand rotation ensures straightforward compatibility with conventional CNC boring machine spindles without the need for special reversing adapters.
• Compact Overall Length - 55mm (2-11/64") - The 55mm total length with a 27mm cutting height is sized for CNC boring applications where tool clearance and spindle packing density matter in multi-spindle heads.

Why This Product

• The solid carbide HWM construction resists wear far longer than conventional steel drills, reducing tool change frequency and downtime on high-volume CNC boring centers producing cabinet components, furniture parts, or panel assemblies.
• The V-point 120 deg. tip geometry creates a precise, self-centering entry in wood-based sheet goods including MDF, chipboard, HDF, plywood, and laminates - minimizing blow-out and rework in tight-tolerance production work.
• The common shank (S = D at 2.5mm) pairs directly with CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings, making this drill a natural fit for facilities already using CMT boring system tooling - no additional adapter sourcing required.
• At 3/32" (2.5mm) diameter with a 1-1/16" (27mm) cutting height, this drill fills a specific and precise sizing requirement for small-diameter through-hole boring in cabinetry, furniture, and joinery applications where accuracy at small diameters is critical.
