The Vortex Spade Drill Holder is a precision tool accessory designed for machinists and fabricators who regularly drill larger holes with clean, repeatable results. Its straight-flute, stub-length design excels in through-coolant setups, delivering stable cutting and efficient chip evacuation for demanding applications.

• Flute configuration: Straight flute with a stub-length design for enhanced rigidity and stable cutting in through-coolant drilling.
• Through-Coolant capability: Built to support through-coolant lines, improving chip evacuation and cooling for longer tool life.
• Shank diameter: 11.11 mm shank for secure seating in compatible tooling and holders.
• Drill capacity: Accommodates spade drill inserts up to 12.7 mm in diameter for versatile hole sizing.
• Max drill depth: Capable of drilling up to 19.1 mm deep with the appropriate insert configuration.
• Insert compatibility: Inserts are available in both metric and imperial sizes, with a wide range of diameters to fit each holder.
• System range: Part of the Vortex family with holder diameters spanning 9.5 mm to 65.09 mm for various project needs.

Pair this holder with the right spade drill insert to achieve efficient material removal, consistent hole quality, and extended tool life. The through-coolant design minimizes heat and chip buildup, while the modular insert system lets you tailor hole diameter and finish to your specific project—supporting applications from automotive components to appliance housings and structural metal work. The stub-length design adds rigidity for tighter tolerances and better concentricity in deeper pockets or constrained spaces, making it a reliable choice in both CNC and manual milling environments.
