Specification confirmation: M35 and TiN are stated in the product title and original page, but the dimension chart does not provide cobalt percentage, coating thickness, hardness, tolerance or a machining standard. Confirm these items on the quotation or approved product drawing when required.
HSS Center Drill Speeds & Feed Settings
Choose starting cutting data for the actual cutting diameter, selected end, workpiece grade and hardness, tool holding and coolant. The dimension chart does not provide speed or feed values. The old product-page figures are not tied to a specific size and workpiece setup.
Setting Speed & Feed
Spindle speed: n = (1000 × Vc) / (π × d), where n is RPM, Vc is cutting speed in m/min and d is the diameter at the active cutting end in mm.
Feed rate: F = n × f, where F is feed in mm/min and f is feed per revolution in mm/rev.
Calculation example: At 500 RPM and 0.02 mm/rev, programmed feed is 10 mm/min. This illustrates the formula only and is not a recommended setting for any workpiece.
For additional reference, see our HSS cutting tools speeds & feeds guide. Confirm tool-specific values for the chosen center drill and workpiece.
HSS Drill Customization & OEM
HSS drills can be reviewed against your hole requirements, workpiece material and machine setup. We can discuss application-specific dimensions, cutting geometry, tool material, surface finish and private-label presentation. Available options depend on the drill type and the confirmed manufacturing specification.
Point & Cutting Geometry
Review point angle, point thinning, flute design and cutting-edge geometry according to the workpiece and drilling operation. Geometry options vary between twist drills, center drills and special drills.
Dimensions & Shank
Specify cutting diameter, flute length, overall length and the required shank configuration. Straight-shank, Morse-taper, extra-long and other constructions are reviewed by product series.
Finish & OEM Branding
Review a suitable coating or surface finish where applicable. Laser marking, labels and packaging can be discussed for distributor and private-label orders.

Product FAQs
What are these center drills used for?
They are used to prepare a center hole for work held between centers or to establish a starting location before a subsequent drilling operation. Confirm that the selected end geometry matches the required hole form.
Which sizes are shown in the dimension chart?
Seven cutting diameters d are listed: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm. Their matching shank diameters d1 are 4–14 mm, overall lengths L are 36.5–70 mm and listed L1 dimensions are 2–8 mm. Select all four dimensions from the same size row.
What do the 60° and 120° markings mean?
The drawing marks a 60° feature at one end and a 120° feature at the other. Confirm the required end profile and center-hole standard for your part drawing; the angle markings alone do not define a complete standard designation.
Does L1 equal the finished center-hole depth?
No. The chart labels L1 as flute length, while the drawing locates it at the short pilot end. It is a tool dimension, not a guaranteed finished-hole depth. Confirm the required depth and tool geometry before machining.
Is the cobalt content or TiN coating thickness specified?
The product title identifies M35 cobalt HSS and TiN coating, but the supplied dimension chart does not state cobalt percentage, coating thickness, hardness or tolerances. Request those values for the exact model if your purchase specification requires them.
What speeds and feeds should I use?
The chart does not provide cutting data. Select a starting cutting speed and feed for the active cutting end, workpiece grade and hardness, holder rigidity and coolant setup. Protect the small pilot from excessive feed and validate the settings with a trial cut.
Ordering & OEM FAQs
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send the requested size d, quantity, workpiece grade, required center-hole form and drawing. Specify the 60° or 120° end, shank and overall dimensions, and any coating, tolerance or packaging requirements.
Can the dimensions or branding be customized?
Share the required cutting and shank diameters, overall length, pilot geometry, coating and marking or packaging details. Feasibility and tolerances should be confirmed against an approved drawing.
Can I combine several sizes in one order?
Yes, send a size-by-size quantity list for a mixed-size quotation. Availability, minimum quantity and dispatch time can be confirmed for each requested configuration.
