Accupro A-6140160R Spotting Drill 1.6mm 2-flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO A-6140160R is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before final drilling operations. Built with a 120-degree drill point angle and a 1.6mm cutting diameter, this tool provides a precise center point that reduces drill walk and improves hole positioning accuracy. The two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation in general-purpose spotting applications. With an overall length of 38mm and a bright uncoated finish, this drill suits high-speed steel and carbide follow-up drill pairings across a range of workpiece materials. It is typically used by machinists and toolroom technicians in CNC and manual drilling setups.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose spotting and center-starting operations on machining centers, drill presses, and CNC lathes with live tooling. The 2mm straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks commonly found in production and job-shop environments. The right-hand cutting direction and compact 5.4mm flute length make it well suited for shallow spotting passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Single-ended construction keeps the setup straightforward for quick tool changes.

Key Features

• 120-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and reduced drill walk
• 1.6mm cutting diameter with 0.0630 inch decimal equivalent
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in general-purpose machining
• Two-flute spiral geometry promotes chip clearing during spotting passes
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet and drill chuck toolholding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard collet chucks and drill chucks that accept a 2mm straight-cylindrical shank on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and live-tooling lathes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the straight shank in a properly sized collet or drill chuck and confirm runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or setting the tool. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed selection when spotting with carbide tooling.
