This detailed product description showcases an outstanding piece from the Wieländer+Schill professional tool range: the spot weld drill equipped with VAPO coating, specifically developed for precise and efficient drilling in steel structures. This tool belongs to the Separating Tools category and is an ideal choice for body repair and metalworking specialists.
The spot weld drill with item number 617011 is made from the highest quality HSS (High-Speed Steel) material, ensuring a long service life and excellent cutting performance even under high load. The specialty of the drill is the VAPO (vaporized) coating, which significantly increases the tool's hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity. This special surface treatment minimizes friction, reduces heat generation during drilling, and thus extends the service life of the drill, while producing clean and precise holes in steel materials.
This drill is ideal for the fast and clean removal of spot weld joints, which is essential when replacing or repairing body parts. The two-edge design (2 flutes) allows for optimal chip evacuation, preventing overheating of the drill and damage to the workpiece.
Excellent Material Quality: High-Speed Steel (HSS) base material for reliable performance.
VAPO Coating: The special coating applied by vaporization increases surface hardness and reduces friction, making it ideal for steel.
Precise Sizing: The precise 8.0 mm diameter guarantees the required dimension for removing standard spot weld studs.
Optimized Geometry: Two edges (flutes) for efficient chip removal and cooling.
Professional Application: Specifically tailored to the demands of the automotive industry, where speed and precision are crucial.

To achieve maximum efficiency of VAPO coated drills, it is recommended to observe the specified speed range.
Recommended Speed: Between 800 and 1000 revolutions/minute.
The slower but stable rotational speed, combined with the friction-reducing effect of the VAPO coating, ensures that the drill does not lose its sharpness when passing through the hard material of the spot welding pins. Adequate cooling (if the drill is used with a mechanical drive) is always recommended to further extend tool life.
This drill is part of the wide range of Separating Tools from Wieländer+Schill, which meets even the highest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) requirements. The product represents the pinnacle of precision drilling technology in the body repair sector.
