Harvey Tool 11445 Spotting Drill 90 Deg 0.045 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 11445 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for follow-on drilling operations in metal and other hard materials. Built to a 90-degree drill point angle, this single-ended tool produces accurate, centered spots that reduce drill walk and improve hole-location consistency. The 2-flute spiral geometry and 0.045-inch cutting diameter make it well suited for small-hole spotting work. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.135-inch flute length, the 11445 is a compact, rigid tool intended for machinists and tool-room technicians working on CNC machining centers, mills, and drill presses.

This spotting drill is configured for general-purpose spotting applications where a clean, accurate entry point is required before reaming, tapping, or finish drilling. The right-hand cutting direction and straight cylindrical shank allow direct chuck or collet mounting. The bright uncoated finish suits a wide range of work materials where coating interference is not desirable. This tool is typically used in precision metalworking environments including job shops, production machining, and tool-and-die operations.

Key Features

• 90-degree Harvey Type I point geometry for accurate spot location and drill guidance
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• 2-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation in shallow spotting operations
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of work materials
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks directly
• Compact 1.5-inch OAL minimizes overhang and deflection

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses equipped with a collet or chuck capable of accepting a 0.125-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet or drill chuck before use, and verify runout with a dial indicator if positional accuracy is critical. Power down the spindle completely before changing or seating any cutting tool. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speeds and feed rates when spotting with carbide tooling.
