Guhring 9007240050000 Carbide Spotting Drill 5mm 120 Deg

Product Description

The GUHRING 9007240050000 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for subsequent drilling operations. Built to Series 724 specifications, it features a 120-degree drill point angle that promotes accurate center location and reduces walking on flat or angled surfaces. The 5mm cutting diameter and 14mm flute length make it suited for light-duty spotting cycles on CNC machining centers and manual drill presses alike. The bright, uncoated finish means no coating buildup concerns in sensitive materials. Right-hand cut with a straight-cylindrical shank, this tool is a dependable general-purpose spotting solution for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal cutting applications where accurate hole location is required before full-depth drilling. The 120-degree included angle aligns well with standard twist drill point geometry, helping to guide the following drill and minimize runout. The 5mm shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct clamping in ER collet chucks, drill chucks, or precision tool holders without a step-down adapter. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials at typical CNC feed and speed parameters for carbide tooling.

Key Features

• 120-degree drill point angle for accurate center spotting and compatibility with standard twist drill geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in general-purpose metal cutting
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Two spiral flutes with right-hand cut for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct clamping in collet chucks or drill chucks
• Series 724 general-purpose classification for consistent performance across standard machining applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and milling machines equipped with tool holders accepting a 5mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with carbide tooling. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Clamp the straight shank securely in a properly sized collet or chuck to the tool holder manufacturer's specified runout tolerance. Carbide is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads or interrupted cuts beyond its rated general-purpose application envelope.
