CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 60 deg. Point - 5/32" x 2-11/64" is a precision-ground, two-flute drilling tool engineered for through-hole boring on CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers. Built from solid carbide (HWM grade), this right-hand twist drill delivers consistent, clean holes in wood-based panel materials and solid wood with the speed and durability demanded by high-production environments. The 60 deg. V-point geometry initiates cutting precisely at center, reducing wandering and producing accurate entry points that matter most when repeating tight-tolerance patterns across large production runs.

Key Features

• Solid Carbide (HWM) Construction - premium carbide material provides exceptional wear resistance, extending tool life significantly compared to HSS alternatives and reducing downtime in high-cycle CNC applications.
• V-Point 60 deg. Sharpening - the aggressive V-point geometry centers the drill instantly on contact, minimizing bit wander and delivering cleaner, more accurate entry holes across repeated boring operations.
• 4mm Diameter with Common Shank (S=D) - the shank diameter equals the drill diameter at 4mm, allowing direct seating into CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings without any intermediate tooling modification.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand spiral matches the spindle direction of conventional CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers, ensuring compatibility with typical production setups.
• 2-Flute Design - two cutting edges balance chip evacuation and cutting efficiency, helping maintain bore quality and reducing heat buildup during through-hole drilling in panel materials.
• 27mm Cutting Height - the 27mm usable cutting length (with a 55mm overall length) accommodates through-hole drilling in standard panel thicknesses, making this drill practical for cabinet, furniture, and millwork production.

Why This Product

• The solid carbide HWM construction means this drill maintains its edge through high-volume production runs where softer tool materials would dull quickly, reducing the frequency of tool changes and keeping CNC boring machines running productively.
• The 60 deg. V-point angle is optimized for clean, precise entry into wood-based materials - chipboard, MDF, HDF, plywood, laminates, hardwood, and softwood - giving woodworking shops a single drill solution across a broad range of common substrates.
• With a common shank design (shank diameter equals drill diameter at 4mm), this bit integrates directly into the CMT 364 adapter and 365 bushing system, simplifying tool changes and maintaining a secure, centered grip in multi-spindle boring center spindles.
• At 55mm total length with 27mm of cutting depth, this drill is sized for practical through-hole work in standard panel goods - delivering the right geometry for production cabinet and furniture boring without excess overhang that could introduce vibration or deflection.
