Center drill bits typically come in two main types - the No. 0 and No. 1 sizes, with the No. 0 being smaller and more suited for starting holes for tapping threads, while the No. 1 is larger and ideal for creating centers for lathe work. They have a distinctive conical shape, with a 60-degree included angle that allows them to create a V-shaped indentation, guiding the larger drill bit or lathe cutting tool into perfect alignment.
The thread drill bit, also known as a tap drill or a thread cutting drill, combines the functions of a standard drill bit with a tap—a tool used for creating threads. This fusion allows for the creation of threads in one step, eliminating the need for multiple operations and thereby reducing both time and potential for error. As such, they are particularly favored in industries where speed and accuracy are paramount, such as automotive, aerospace, and high-precision machinery manufacturing.
