Cleveland C24181 Spotting Drill 1/4 in 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C24181 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create accurate center points and chamfered starter holes for twist drills, reamers, and other rotary cutting tools. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 90-degree point angle and a 0.250-inch cutting diameter. The spiral flute geometry with two flutes promotes chip evacuation during the spotting operation. With an overall length of 4 inches and a straight cylindrical shank, this tool is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses where precise hole location is required before full-depth drilling.

The C24181 is a general-purpose spotting drill intended for metalworking applications across job shop, maintenance, and production environments. The 90-degree point angle is compatible with standard twist drill geometry, ensuring accurate drill alignment and reduced walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The 1-inch flute length and 1/4-inch shank diameter make it well suited for light-to-medium duty spotting work on common ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in rotating spindle equipment. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized collet or chuck to prevent runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain point geometry.
