Center Drill, Plain, Carbide, 60 Degrees , #1 Solid carbide center drills provide excellent wear resistance when machining the toughest materials, such as cast iron and stainless steel. Center drills with a plain tip are the standard choice for creating center holes in a piece of stock to prepare it for turning between centers on a lathe.Center drills consist of a pilot drill and a countersink. They are used to create holes at the center of a piece of stock so it can be turned between centers on a lathe in metalworking applications. The pilot drill creates a small hole in the stock and the countersink expands the hole, leaving a small gap at the bottom of the hole that helps protect the lathe's centers from damage when the stock is turned on it.
