Vortex Spade Drill Holder with straight flute and short length is a precision tooling solution designed for machinists who demand reliable through-coolant performance when using spade inserts. Built for tight workspaces, it delivers stable cuts, efficient chip evacuation, and consistent hole quality.

• Through-Coolant: Integrated coolant passage enhances chip evacuation and keeps the cutting edge cooler for improved tool life and surface finish.
• Flute Type: Straight flute design optimized for predictable cutting forces and straightforward chip control (this model in straight-flute configuration).
• Short Length: Compact form factor reduces overhang and fits into confined pockets without compromising rigidity.
• Shank Size: 13 mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard tool holders and setups.
• Drill Capacity: Accepts spade drill inserts up to 17.5 mm in diameter, giving you a broad range of drilling options.
• Max Drill Depth: Capable of drilling up to 34.9 mm in a single pass, enabling deeper holes with a single setup.
• Insert Compatibility: Inserts are available in both Metric and Imperial sizes, with a wide range of diameters to fit this holder.
• System Versatility: Part of the complete Vortex spade drill system, with options for straight or spiral flute inserts to suit different materials and applications.

This spade drill holder is ideal for producers and job shops that need efficient through-coolant drilling in metalworking, including pockets, blind holes, and precision holes where chip evacuation and heat management are critical. The 13 mm shank and 17.5 mm maximum drill diameter provide a robust combination for a variety of steels, aluminum, and other common metals, while the 34.9 mm max depth supports deeper drilling without frequent tool changes. With metric and imperial insert availability, you can tailor the tooling to the exact material and hole size, simplifying setups and reducing downtime.
