Product Description
CMT V-Point Solid Carbide Twist Drill - 60 deg. Point - 9/64" x 2-11/64" is a precision-ground, solid carbide through-hole drill engineered for high-speed production drilling on CNC boring machines. Built from HWM solid carbide material, this right-hand rotation drill delivers consistent, clean through-holes in a wide range of panel and solid wood materials. With a 60 deg. V-point sharpening profile, it is purpose-built for the clean entry and exit characteristics demanded in automated multi-spindle boring applications.
Key Features
- Solid Carbide (HWM) Construction - premium carbide material provides exceptional wear resistance, extending tool life in high-cycle CNC production environments and reducing downtime for bit changes.
- V-Point 60 deg. Sharpening - the acute 60 deg. point geometry enables precise, centered entry into the workpiece, reducing tear-out and producing cleaner hole edges compared to conventional twist drill geometries.
- Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - matched to the standard spindle direction of CNC boring machines, ensuring direct compatibility with machine tooling setups without modification.
- 2-Flute, 2-Cutting-Edge Design - dual cutting edges promote efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling, reducing heat buildup and maintaining hole quality over extended production runs.
- Common Shank Design (S=D, 3.5mm) - shank diameter matches the drill diameter, allowing direct insertion into CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings for mounting on standard boring machine spindles with no adapter mismatch.
- 3.5mm Diameter with 27mm Cutting Height - compact cutting geometry sized for fine-pitch boring patterns, while the 27mm cutting length accommodates the panel thicknesses common in cabinet and furniture production.
- 55mm Total Length - consistent overall length ensures repeatable depth settings across multi-spindle boring centers, reducing setup variation between tool changes.
Why This Product
- Solid carbide construction in HWM grade is specifically suited to the abrasive demands of drilling chipboard, MDF, HDF, and laminates at production speeds - materials that rapidly dull lower-grade tooling.
- The 60 deg. V-point geometry is a purpose-designed profile for CNC boring machines, not a general-purpose drill point - this translates directly to cleaner hole quality and more consistent results in panel processing applications.
- The common shank (S=D) configuration means this drill mounts directly into CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings without requiring intermediate collets or reducers, simplifying tooling setup on multi-spindle boring centers.
- With a 3.5mm diameter and 55mm total length, this drill fits the precise geometry requirements of fine cabinet hardware boring patterns, where hole placement accuracy and repeatability are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the point angle on this twist drill, and why does it matter?
This drill uses a V-Point 60 deg. sharpening profile. The sharper 60 deg. angle - compared to a conventional 118 deg. general-purpose twist drill - is optimized for clean, precise entry on CNC boring machines, particularly when drilling panel materials such as MDF, chipboard, and laminates where clean hole edges are essential.
Does this drill require an adapter to mount on a boring machine spindle?
Yes. This drill uses a common shank design where the shank diameter equals the drill diameter (3.5mm). It is designed to be used with CMT 364 adapters and 365 bushings for mounting on standard boring machine spindles. It is not intended for direct chuck mounting on a hand drill or drill press.
What materials is this drill suitable for?
This solid carbide twist drill is suited for through-hole drilling in solid hardwood, softwood, chipboard, MDF, HDF, plywood, and laminates. The HWM solid carbide construction provides the wear resistance needed to maintain performance when drilling abrasive engineered panel materials at production volumes.
What do the cutting height and total length measurements mean for my application?
The cutting height of 27mm (1-1/16") defines the usable fluted length available for chip evacuation during drilling - it determines the maximum depth of material the drill can pass through effectively. The total length of 55mm (2-11/64") is the full end-to-end dimension of the drill, which is important for correct depth stop and adapter positioning on multi-spindle boring centers.
