VIT's centering drill (Spott!) has the capability to nest the "point" of any standard angle drill (up to 140 deg) within the drill size range of three-sixteenths inch (3/16") through three inch (3") diameters.  This is achieved by the unique 144 deg included angle insert (designed and developed by VIT). T his angle allows for the actual point or tip of a drill to nest at the bottom-most point of the cavity left by the Spott!centering drill, thus improving repeatability and positional accuracy.  One insert angle and grade covers a wide range of materials, with minor adjustments to SFM and IPR.
