CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 3.5mm (9/64 in.) - 120 deg. Sharpening - Right Hand is a precision-ground, 2-flute carbide boring drill engineered for clean through-hole drilling on CNC multi-spindle boring machines. Built from premium HWM solid carbide and designed to work with CMT 364 and 365 adapter systems, this 3.5mm twist drill delivers consistent, accurate dowel holes in panel processing and furniture production environments. The V-point 120 deg. tip geometry ensures self-centering entry and minimal tear-out, making it a reliable choice for high-volume cabinet and furniture manufacturing applications.

Key Features

• Premium HWM solid carbide construction - provides exceptional wear resistance and edge retention under the demands of high-speed, repetitive CNC boring cycles, reducing downtime from frequent bit changes.
• V-point 120 deg. sharpening - the self-centering tip geometry promotes accurate hole placement and clean entry cuts, minimizing chip-out and tear-out on panel surfaces.
• 2 precision-ground cutting edges (Z2) - dual cutting edges balanced for smooth, consistent chip evacuation and reduced vibration throughout the full cutting depth.
• 2 spiral flutes - efficiently clear chips and debris from the bore path, keeping the cutting zone clear for improved finish quality and bit longevity in production drilling.
• Common shank design (S=D, 3.5mm shank = 3.5mm drill diameter) - shank diameter matches drill diameter exactly, enabling direct, precise fitment into CMT 364 and 365 adapters on CNC boring machine spindles without additional reduction sleeves.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - standard clockwise cutting direction compatible with the spindle orientation of conventional CNC boring centers using the 364/365 adapter system.
• 27mm cutting height / 55mm total length - proportioned for through-hole boring in standard panel thicknesses, providing adequate reach while maintaining rigidity in the carbide shank.

Why This Product

• For shops running CNC multi-spindle boring centers with CMT 364 or 365 adapter systems, this twist drill is purpose-matched - the common shank (S=D) design fits those adapters directly, eliminating guesswork in tooling selection.
• The V-point 120 deg. tip is specifically suited to through-hole drilling for dowel connections in furniture and cabinet panel work, where clean entry and exit holes are critical to joint quality.
• Solid HWM carbide holds its cutting edge far longer than high-speed steel alternatives in production runs on chipboard, MDF, plywood, and solid wood, reducing the frequency of tool changes on busy production lines.
• With 2 precision-ground cutting edges and 2 spiral flutes working together, chip clearance and hole finish quality are maintained consistently across high-volume runs - an important factor in furniture manufacturing where thousands of holes per shift are common.
