Drills for drilling the probe plates and pressure plates of all Merifix fixtures.
These are brand new, high quality carbide drills with 1/8" shanks for easy and secure mounting in chucks or collets. The large shank, short overall length and hard carbide material ensures that these drills run very true and will produce good, straight, accurate holes. They are significantly better than normal HSS twist drills which can tend to wobble and drill off-centre or oversize.
This convenient kit contains all the sizes needed to suit probe receptacles and hold-down posts for all fixtures, expect the 5.0mm drill for GP-2 locating probes which is available separately.
