Central Drill

At our campus workshop, the center drill is the essential first step for any student using the lathe. Its simple job is to create a small, precise starter hole that perfectly marks the center of your material. This is crucial for two main reasons: it ensures everything you make is accurate and symmetrical, and it makes the process much safer by preventing tools from slipping. Think of it as drawing a perfect bullseye before you start drilling or shaping—it’s the foundation for all the precise and creative projects you'll build in our lab.
