Maykestag VHM Solid Carbide Centre Drill 1.6mm DIN 333 A

Product information

Maykestag VHM Solid Carbide Centre Drill 1.6mm DIN 333 A Precision 1.6mm VHM solid carbide centre drill manufactured to DIN 333 A, featuring Type RN geometry, Form A design, 120°/60° cutting geometry and two cutting edges for accurate centre-hole preparation on workpieces from 10–15mm diameter. The Maykestag Code 6525 solid carbide centre drill is designed for accurately producing centre holes before subsequent turning, drilling and other precision machining operations. Manufactured from VHM solid carbide, its short and rigid construction provides excellent stability during cutting and helps the 1.6mm pilot section maintain accurate positioning under suitable machining conditions. What is a centre drill? A centre drill is a short, rigid cutting tool used to produce an accurately positioned centre hole in a workpiece. The smaller pilot section establishes the centre while the larger angled cutting section forms the conical seat. This controlled geometry provides a consistent reference for subsequent machining operations where accurate positioning and alignment are important. Product highlights • VHM solid carbide construction: Provides excellent rigidity, wear resistance and dimensional stability for professional centre-drilling applications. • DIN 333 A: Manufactured according to the specified standard for Form A centre drills. • 1.6mm pilot diameter: Precision d1 diameter for producing accurately located centre holes. • Type RN: Maykestag-specified geometry for the Code 6525 centre-drill range. • Form A: Standard centre-drill form for producing conventional centre holes. • 120°/60° cutting geometry: Precisely formed geometry for creating the pilot and conical centre profile. • Two cutting edges: Z = 2 configuration provides balanced cutting action during centre-hole preparation. • 35.5mm overall length: Compact construction supports rigidity and helps minimise deflection during machining. • 10–15mm workpiece range: Maykestag specifies this 1.6mm centre drill for workpiece diameters within this range. Why Choose Maykestag? Maykestag precision cutting tools are engineered for professional machining applications where accurate tool geometry and repeatable performance are essential. Centre drilling is commonly one of the first machining operations performed on a component, making accurate positioning especially important for the operations that follow. The Code 6525 range combines VHM solid carbide construction with DIN 333 A geometry, Form A design and carefully controlled dimensions. This creates a highly rigid centre-drilling tool suited to workshops, toolrooms and production environments where reliable positioning and consistent machining results matter. Accurate Centre-Hole Preparation With a 1.6mm pilot diameter, 4mm body diameter and compact 35.5mm overall length, this centre drill offers the rigidity required for controlled centre-hole production. The solid carbide construction helps resist deflection, while the 120°/60° cutting geometry produces the pilot and conical centre profile in a controlled operation. Correct cutting data, secure workholding and accurate machine alignment are important for achieving the best tool life and machining results.
