Product Description
CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 3.2mm (1/8") - 120 deg. Sharpening - Right-Hand Rotation is a precision-engineered boring bit built for production-grade through-hole drilling on CNC boring machines and multi-spindle boring centers. Manufactured from premium HWM solid carbide, this 2-flute twist drill delivers consistent, clean entry points in panel materials, solid wood, and engineered wood products. With a V-point 120 deg. tip geometry and a common shank design where the shank diameter equals the drill diameter, this bit is engineered to mount directly into CMT 364 and 365 adapters for efficient, high-repeatability machining.
Key Features
- HWM Solid Carbide Construction - premium-quality solid carbide provides exceptional wear resistance and longer service life in high-speed CNC production environments compared to standard HSS alternatives.
- V-Point 120 deg. Sharpening - the precise V-point tip geometry produces a clean, accurate entry hole with minimal tear-out, making it well suited for through-hole drilling in furniture panels and dowel joinery applications.
- 2 Precision Ground Cutting Edges (Z2) - dual precision-ground cutting edges ensure balanced cutting forces, resulting in smooth bore surfaces and extended bit life across repeated drilling cycles.
- 2 Spiral Flutes - twin spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole boring, reducing heat buildup and keeping the cut clean in chipboard, MDF, plywood, and similar panel materials.
- Common Shank Design (S=D) - the shank diameter matches the drilling diameter at 3.2mm, allowing direct, secure mounting into CMT 364 and 365 adapter systems without the need for reduction sleeves.
- Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with the vast majority of CNC boring machine spindles, simplifying setup and reducing changeover time.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for use with CMT 364 and 365 adapter systems, this twist drill integrates into existing CNC boring machine setups without additional tooling modifications - a direct, production-ready solution for panel processing shops.
- The V-point 120 deg. tip geometry combined with 2 precision ground cutting edges means cleaner hole entry and exit in panel materials like MDF, chipboard, and plywood - critical for dowel connection quality in furniture manufacturing.
- HWM solid carbide construction is suited to the demands of repetitive, high-volume boring cycles, helping production operations maintain drilling accuracy over extended tool life rather than frequent bit replacement.
- The common shank (S=D) configuration at 3.2mm (1/8") eliminates adapter complexity - the bit seats directly and securely, reducing setup errors and keeping multi-spindle boring centers running efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What adapter systems is this twist drill compatible with?
This CMT V-point solid carbide twist drill is designed for use with CMT 364 and 365 adapter systems. The common shank design (S=D) means the 3.2mm shank seats directly into these adapters without requiring reduction sleeves or additional hardware.
What is the difference between the shank diameter and the drilling diameter on this bit?
There is no difference - this bit uses a common shank design where the shank diameter equals the drilling diameter (S=D). Both the shank and the drill diameter are 3.2mm (1/8"), which simplifies mounting and ensures a direct fit in compatible CNC boring machine spindles and adapters.
What does V-point 120 deg. sharpening mean for my drilling results?
The V-point 120 deg. tip geometry provides a defined, centered entry point that reduces wandering at the start of each bore. This sharpening style is well suited to through-hole drilling in panel materials such as MDF, chipboard, and plywood, producing clean, accurate holes appropriate for dowel joinery and furniture panel processing.
How many cutting edges does this drill have, and why does it matter?
This drill has 2 precision ground cutting edges (Z2) paired with 2 spiral flutes. The dual cutting edges create balanced cutting forces during boring, which contributes to smoother hole surfaces and helps maintain drilling accuracy across repeated cycles in production environments.
