Harvey Tool 11460-C3 Spotting Drill 0.06 in 90 Deg Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 11460-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for follow-on drilling operations. With a 0.06-inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree point angle, this single-ended tool produces accurate, consistent spot locations that reduce drill walk and improve hole positioning. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in a wide range of workpiece materials. The spiral flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction support clean chip evacuation during spotting passes. This drill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC mills, drill presses, and manual machining centers.

The 11460-C3 is suited for general-purpose spotting applications in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and production environments. Its compact 1.5-inch overall length and 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and drill holders commonly found in both vertical and horizontal machining setups. The 0.18-inch flute length is appropriate for shallow spotting passes preceding twist drill or carbide drill entry.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions
• AlTiN coating improves thermal hardness and extends tool life at elevated cutting temperatures
• 90-degree point angle suits common spotting and chamfering operations
• Harvey Type I point geometry promotes accurate hole location and minimal runout
• Spiral flute design with right-hand cut for efficient chip removal
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and ER-style toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard collet chucks and drill holders accepting a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank on CNC and manual machining equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with carbide tooling. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or changing the tool. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Carbide is brittle — avoid side loads, interrupted cuts beyond tool design, or dropping the tool on hard surfaces, as this can cause chipping or fracture.
