Harvey Tool 11500-C3 Spotting Drill 90 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 11500-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes and accurately locate drill points before full-depth drilling operations. Built with a 90-degree point angle and a Harvey Type I point geometry, this tool delivers consistent, centered starts that reduce wandering and improve hole accuracy in downstream operations. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.100-inch cutting diameter, 0.300-inch flute length, and a compact 1.5-inch overall length, this drill is well suited for tight-clearance work and precise CNC or manual machining setups. It is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose spotting and countersinking applications on machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills. The straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.125 inches fits standard collet chucks and toolholders commonly found in production and job-shop environments. Its right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral configuration make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. The single-ended design and short flute length are optimized for rigidity and accurate spot depth control across a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle with Harvey Type I point geometry for accurate drill location and reduced wandering
• AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions
• Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance superior to high-speed steel alternatives
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation during spotting operations
• Compact 1.5-inch overall length improves rigidity in short-reach setups
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use with standard collet chucks and toolholders accepting a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or chuck. Verify collet size matches the 0.125-inch shank diameter and that the tool is seated to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fracture if run damaged.
