Description

A twist drill set down on a flat face skates before it bites. On a small press you see it as a hole that lands half a millimetre off your mark. A centre drill doesn't skate. It is short and stiff, with a 60° point, and it cuts a cone exactly where you put it. Your drill bit then drops into that cone and follows it straight down.

How to use it

Spot the hole with the centre drill, just deep enough that the cone is as wide as the bit that comes next. Swap to your drill bit. Same spot, straight hole.

Good in brass, aluminium, plastics and PCB.

Size and fit

  • Tip: 1.5 mm, 60° cone
  • Body: 4 mm. Fits the chuck on our Mini drill press (0.3 to 4 mm) and the B10 keyed chuck
  • Double-ended: when one tip dulls, turn it round
  • High-speed steel

Delivery

Free and tracked to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. One to two weeks. 30-day returns from the day it arrives.

Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.

Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item: most arrive in one to two weeks, the larger machines in two to three. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.

30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.

Will it plug into my outlet? The power supply runs on 100 to 240 V, so it works on American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand mains without a converter. If the plug that arrives doesn't fit your outlet, tell us and we post you the right adapter free, or refund you in full.

Can it mill? It is built for drilling. Milling puts side load on the bit, and that needs an ER11 collet spindle in place of the chuck.

Can I bolt a vise or an XY stage to it? On the $129 press, add the 120 x 150 mm base plate: it replaces the original base and has tapped holes for fixing. The $149 collet press already has slots in its base. Clamp-on bench vises are for the bench, not for use under the drill.

Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.

What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.

Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.

How do I reach you? Write to support@arvonelle.com or use the chat. A real person answers within one business day.
