Accupro A-6140060R Spotting Drill 0.6mm 2-flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO A-6140060R is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes for follow-on drilling operations. The tool features a 120-degree drill point angle, a 0.6mm (0.0236 inch) cutting diameter, and a 30mm (1.1811 inch) overall length. With a bright/uncoated finish and a 2-flute spiral geometry, it delivers clean, precise spot marks in a general-purpose machining context. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 1.5mm (0.0591 inch) in diameter, making it compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders suited for micro-diameter tooling. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC machining centers and drill presses are the primary users of this drill.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose applications where accurate hole location and consistent cone geometry are required before full drilling. The compact 0.6mm cutting diameter and 1.9mm (0.0748 inch) flute length make it especially relevant for precision work on small parts, miniature components, and tight-tolerance fixtures. It operates with a right-hand cut direction and is sold as a single-ended tool. Applications span industries including aerospace, medical device, electronics, and general metalworking where positional accuracy at small diameters is critical.

Key Features

• 120-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and minimal deflection at entry
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials in general-purpose use
• 2-flute spiral geometry supports chip clearance in short spotting operations
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and high-speed spindle tooling
• Right-hand cut, single-ended design for straightforward setup and use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and other machine tool setups that accept straight-cylindrical shanks in the micro-diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before loading or changing any cutting tool. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or tool holder before tightening to the holder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure. Verify runout with an indicator before production use, as even slight misalignment at this diameter can affect spotting accuracy.
