Accupro 89698807 Spotting Drill 5/8 Inch Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 89698807 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create accurate starter points for follow-on drilling operations. Built with a 120-degree point angle, it seats precisely against standard drill geometries to prevent walking and improve hole location accuracy. The 2-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently while keeping the cutting edge in full contact with the workpiece. At 3 inches overall length with a 1.25-inch flute length, this is a compact, rigid tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual drill presses alike. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal spotting applications in production and job-shop environments. The 5/8-inch cutting diameter and matching straight-cylindrical shank allow direct mounting in standard collet chucks or drill chucks without adapters. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional spindle rotation. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where precise hole location is required before drilling, countersinking, or tapping operations.

Key Features

• 120-degree point angle matches common twist drill geometries for accurate spot placement
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications
• 2-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation during spotting cycles
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet and drill chuck setups without adapters
• Single-ended tool for consistent, repeatable positioning

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers and manual drill presses with collet chucks or drill chucks accepting a 5/8-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before applying any spindle load, and verify runout before beginning production. Power down or e-stop the machine and confirm spindle rest before tool changes. Follow your machine shop's established feeds-and-speeds guidelines for carbide tooling in the workpiece material being spotted.
