KEO NC spotting drills are designed with a narrow chisel edge for quick star ting and a constant web to allow for resharpening without the need for web thinning. Solid carbide tools offer long tool life and faster cutting speeds than other substrates, but are more brittle and must be used with rigid toolholding systems. Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems. When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging. Right-hand cut tools have a cutting action that engages when they are run in a clockwise direction.
