Harvey Tool 37532-C3 Spotting Drill 0.5in 90deg Carbide Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 37532-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before a full drilling operation. Built with a 90-degree point angle and a Harvey Type II point geometry, it produces a precise center mark that guides twist drills and reduces walking on flat or angled surfaces. The cutting diameter is 0.5 inches, the overall length is 3 inches, and the flute length is 1 inch. An AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. This drill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills in production and job-shop environments.

The 37532-C3 is a general-purpose spotting drill used in metal fabrication, tool-and-die, aerospace, and precision machining applications. Its straight cylindrical shank with a 0.5-inch diameter fits standard drill chucks and collet holders. The right-hand, spiral-flute design handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials commonly encountered in trade machining work. Installation and use require standard machine-tool setup by a qualified machinist or CNC operator.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for accurate hole location and standard countersink compatibility
• Harvey Type II point geometry minimizes deflection at drill entry
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in ferrous and high-temperature alloys
• Two spiral flutes with right-hand cut for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill compatible with CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and drill presses equipped with a standard 0.5-inch collet, end-mill holder, or drill chuck.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this tool only after the machine spindle has come to a complete stop and the machine is powered down or placed in an E-stop state. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet or drill chuck to the holder manufacturer's specified runout tolerance before use. Do not use this tool as a center drill for lathe work or as a countersink for fastener seating beyond its rated point angle. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-tool operating procedures for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
