Accupro 89699037 Solid Carbide Spotting Drill 5mm

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 89699037 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise center points and chamfers before drilling operations. With a 120-degree drill point angle, this tool produces accurate spot marks that guide follow-up drills and reduce walk on hard and soft metals alike. The 5mm cutting diameter and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. At 51mm overall length with a 20mm spiral flute, this is a compact, rigid tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual drilling setups. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking shops are the primary users.

This spotting drill is built for general-purpose metalworking applications where accurate hole location is critical. The bright, uncoated finish makes it suitable for a wide range of materials including steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The 2-flute spiral configuration promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in the cut zone. It is well suited for short-run production, prototype work, and job shop environments where a reliable, no-frills spotting tool is needed before reaming, tapping, or deep-hole drilling sequences.

Key Features

• 120-degree drill point angle for accurate spotting and chamfering before final drilling
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance over high-speed tool steel alternatives
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• 2-flute spiral geometry supports chip evacuation during spotting passes
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets, chucks, and toolholders without adapters
• Right-hand cut, single-ended design for conventional CNC and manual drill press use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide spotting drill for use in standard straight-shank collet chucks and drill chucks accepting a 5mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators in collet chucks or keyless drill chucks rated for the 5mm shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is properly torqued in the holder before running. Set appropriate spindle speed and feed rate per the workpiece material and machine specifications. Do not use this spotting drill as a substitute for a center drill in applications requiring a steep-angle pilot seat.
