Guhring 9007240060000 Carbide Spotting Drill 6mm 120deg

Product Description

The GUHRING 9007240060000 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes for follow-on drilling operations. Built to Series 724 specifications, it features a 120-degree drill point angle and a 6mm cutting diameter, which converts to approximately 0.2362 inches. Overall length is 66mm (approximately 2.598 inches), with a 16mm (approximately 0.630 inches) spiral flute length. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where additional coating is unnecessary. This is a single-ended, two-flute tool intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose spotting and centering operations on metalworking lathes, mills, and CNC machining centers. The 6mm straight cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders and collet chucks accepting that diameter. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation. The 120-degree point angle is widely used to match common twist drill geometries, helping ensure accurate hole placement and minimizing drill walk on flat or angled surfaces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in general-purpose metalworking
• 120-degree drill point angle compatible with standard twist drill entry geometry
• 6mm (0.2362 inches) cutting diameter with matching 6mm straight cylindrical shank
• Spiral two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation during spotting operations
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut, single-ended configuration for standard CNC and manual machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard toolholders and collet chucks accepting a 6mm straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotating cutting tools and machine tool operation. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the toolholder. Confirm the collet or chuck is properly torqued to the toolholder manufacturer specification before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fail without visible warning if damaged.
