Centring drill bit — precision starter bit for accurate hole positioning Key benefits Eliminates drill “walking”: creates a defined starter point so the main drill bit begins exactly where you want. Improves accuracy and repeatability: helps align holes for fasteners, pilot holes, and fixture setups. Saves time and reduces rework: fewer misdrills and adjustments mean faster, cleaner jobs. Easy to use: places and stabilizes the drill for controlled starts in hand drills and drill presses. Function and performance Purpose-built for centring and starting holes before using larger drill bits or taps. Stabilizes the bit at contact to maintain alignment and reduce chatter at the start of a hole. Improves finish quality by preventing slippage and uneven entry. Compatibility and handling Designed for use in standard drill chucks and common drilling setups (hand drills, drill presses, and similar equipment). Works as a starter tool ahead of larger drill bits and tapping operations. Simple to install, position, and remove during normal drilling workflows. Practical applications (use scenarios) Woodworking: start precise pilot holes for screws and dowels to prevent split wood and ensure straight fastener placement. Metalworking: create accurate starter points on sheet metal or thicker stock before drilling or tapping to avoid bit wandering. Workshop setup and maintenance: align holes for fixtures, jigs, and repeatable assembly operations where consistent placement matters. Why choose a centring drill bit Focused function: specifically intended to solve the common problem of drill wandering on initial contact. Reliable results: helps produce cleaner starts and more accurate finished holes across materials and projects. Low-effort improvement: a small change in tooling that delivers measurable gains in accuracy and efficiency. Usage tips Mark the intended centre, bring the centring bit to the mark, and apply light, steady pressure until a defined starter is formed. Follow with the correctly sized drill bit for the final hole; use appropriate speeds and lubrication for the material being drilled. Secure the workpiece and use safety equipment to maintain control and protect hands and eyes. This centring drill bit is a straightforward, practical tool to improve drilling accuracy and reduce wasted time and materials.
