Plastic Acrylic Drill Bits
Specially designed drill bits for plastic and acrylics are sometimes needed for aircraft maintenance. Tips are precision ground at a 60 degree angle for gradual penetration to minimize cracking and chipping. A 0 degree rake angle on the cutting edge eliminates grabbing as the drill comes through the material.
Plastic and acrylic drill bits are specifically designed to drill clean, accurate holes in acrylic, polycarbonate and other plastics without cracking, chipping or grabbing the material. Their specialized point geometry reduces stress during drilling, making them ideal for aircraft windshields, windows, interior panels, lenses and other transparent or plastic components used in business, commercial and general aviation aircraft. Aircraft maintenance technicians rely on acrylic drill bits to produce smooth, precise holes that help protect expensive materials during fabrication, installation and repair.
