What it is
The Fervi P056/1.6 centre drill is a cutting tool used to make the centre holes that precede drilling or lathe work. With a diameter of Ø 1.6 mm, a 118° point angle and a 60° taper angle, it offers an accurate, stable lead-in for the twist drill or the tailstock centre. Construction to DIN 333 standardises its geometry and tolerances. The product is of certified Italian manufacture and complies with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC with CE marking.
A metal drill bit is an HSS or cobalt twist drill, with a straight or taper shank, for drilling steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics.
What it is for
Used for drilling steel, stainless steel and aluminium, on a pillar drill or with a hand-held drill and in workshop machining of steel, aluminium and alloy parts.
How to use it
Clamp the workpiece in a vice, mark the centre and set the speed for the diameter and material: low for hard steels and large diameters, higher for aluminium and plastic. Lubricate with cutting oil on steel; on plastic, reduce the pressure as the bit breaks through to avoid chipping. Insert taper-shank drills into the pillar drill's spindle taper and remove them with a drift.
