Accupro 89699045 Solid Carbide Spotting Drill 6mm

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 89699045 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before drilling operations. It features a 60-degree drill point angle that creates a precise seat for standard twist drills, reducing wander and improving hole position accuracy. The tool is single-ended with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suitable for general-purpose spotting across a range of workpiece materials. At 0.2362 inches (6mm) in cutting diameter and 2.4803 inches (63mm) in overall length, it is a compact, rigid tool for machine shop and production drilling environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tooling.

This spotting drill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and drill presses where precise hole location is required before through-hole or tapped-hole operations. Its spiral flute geometry assists in chip evacuation during the spotting pass. The straight cylindrical shank allows it to seat directly in standard collet chucks, ER collet systems, or drill chucks without additional adapters. General-purpose performance classification makes it appropriate across mild steels, aluminum, plastics, and similar materials commonly encountered in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 60-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and drill seat formation
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Bright/uncoated finish for general-purpose compatibility across common workpiece materials
• Spiral flute design with 2 flutes promotes chip clearance during spotting
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters
• Single-ended tool; compact 63mm OAL suits short-reach setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard collet systems and drill chucks that accept a 6mm straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck and verify runout before beginning a spotting operation. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing tooling. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material; do not exceed the tool's rated parameters for solid carbide tooling.
