Accupro 89698757 Spotting Drill 7/16 in 90 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 89698757 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create accurate center points before drilling operations in metal and other hard materials. With a 90-degree point angle and a 0.4375-inch cutting diameter, it establishes precise, consistent spot locations that reduce drill walking and improve hole positioning accuracy. The 3-inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and tool holders. This tool is suited for machinists, toolroom technicians, and production floor operators working with CNC machines, drill presses, and manual mills.

The 89698757 is built for general-purpose spotting applications across a range of materials. The spiral flute design and bright uncoated finish are appropriate for dry cutting or use with cutting fluid in typical shop environments. The 1.25-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for shallow spotting operations, and the right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle configurations. This drill is sold as a single tool and is appropriate for both production and maintenance machining scenarios.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for accurate centering before through-hole or tapped-hole drilling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use with or without coolant
• Spiral flute design with 2 flutes promotes chip evacuation in shallow spot operations
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cut for use with standard clockwise spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill for use with standard straight-shank drill chucks, ER collets, and similar tool holders sized for a 0.4375-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists following applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from any holder. Verify chuck or collet runout before use, as excessive runout will reduce spotting accuracy and shorten tool life. Apply cutting fluid as recommended for the workpiece material to extend tool life.
