Accupro 89699144 Solid Carbide Spotting Drill 12mm 90 Degree

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 89699144 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for follow-on drilling operations. Ground to a 90-degree point angle, it produces accurate, centered spots that reduce drill walk and improve hole location consistency. The bright, uncoated carbide construction suits general-purpose spotting across a wide range of workpiece materials. At 12mm cutting diameter and 76mm overall length, this tool fits standard straight-shank toolholders and is compatible with CNC machining centers and manual drill presses alike. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and production floor operators use this drill for layout-critical applications where entry accuracy directly affects finished hole quality.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose metal cutting in production and job-shop environments. The 25mm flute length and 2-flute spiral geometry support efficient chip evacuation during the spotting pass. The straight cylindrical shank at 12mm diameter seats directly into ER collet chucks, drill chucks, and milling machine toolholders. Right-hand cut geometry pairs with standard spindle rotation on conventional CNC and manual equipment.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for accurate spot and chamfer geometry on follow-on drill entries
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in general-purpose cutting
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• 2-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance during spotting passes
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with ER collets, drill chucks, and standard toolholders
• Right-hand cut direction matches standard CNC and manual spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual drill presses equipped with toolholders accepting a 12mm straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-setting personnel familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is placed in a safe, locked-out state before loading or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet or chuck runout before use, as excessive runout will degrade spot accuracy and reduce tool life. Follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for speeds, feeds, and coolant application.
