Guhring 9005680030000 Spotting Drill 90 Deg 3mm Hss Tin

Product Description

The GUHRING 9005680030000 is a 90-degree spotting drill designed to start holes with precision and consistency before full drilling operations. Built from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved surface hardness and extended tool life in general purpose metalworking applications. The cutting diameter is 3mm (0.1181 inches), the overall length is 46mm (1.811 inches), and the two-flute spiral design promotes clean chip evacuation. This single-ended tool belongs to GUHRING Series 568 and is sized for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mill setups where accurate hole location is critical.

This spotting drill is intended for general purpose metal drilling applications in shop, production, and maintenance environments. The 3mm shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, making it compatible with standard ER collets, drill chucks, and tool holders accepting straight-cylindrical shanks. The right-hand cut configuration suits conventional spindle rotation. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and production operators typically deploy this tool when a precise center point is required before running a twist drill or boring operation to final diameter.

Key Features

• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and minimal wandering
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces tool wear in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• Two-flute spiral geometry promotes efficient chip clearance during spotting operations
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and drill chucks without modification
• Single-ended design simplifies tool length offset setup in CNC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general purpose spotting drill suitable for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses equipped with tool holders accepting a 3mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended grip depth before tightening to avoid runout. Ensure spindle speed and feed rate are set per the shop's established speeds-and-feeds for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and TiN coating for wear or chipping between uses, and replace the tool when edge condition degrades to prevent inaccurate hole location.
