Cleveland C24185 Spotting Drill 3/4 in 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C24185 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create accurate, centered starter holes before through-drilling, reaming, or countersinking operations. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 90-degree point angle that produces clean, consistent cone-form seats. The cutting diameter is 0.75 inches, the shank diameter is 0.75 inches, and the overall length is 8 inches. Two spiral flutes with a right-hand cut direction clear chips efficiently and support general-purpose shop applications. This tool is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and precision metalworking technicians.

The C24185 spotting drill is suited for use in manual drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret mills where precise hole location is required before a standard twist drill or reamer is engaged. The 90-degree point angle matches the included angle of the majority of general-purpose drill bits, reducing the tendency for a following drill to walk off-center. With a 1.75-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank, the tool seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders commonly found in production and job-shop environments.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified metalworking technician should secure the shank fully within a properly sized chuck or collet before operation. De-energize and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or follow the workpiece material manufacturer recommendations for dry-cutting suitability. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace if edge integrity is compromised.
