Harvey Tool 38224-C3 Spotting Drill 3/8 in 120 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 38224-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes prior to drilling operations. With a 120-degree point angle and a 0.375-inch cutting diameter, it creates a precise seat that guides follow-up drill bits and reduces walking on flat or angled workpiece surfaces. The AlTiN coating increases surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in demanding machining environments. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1.0-inch flute length, it fits standard toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. Installed by machinists and toolroom professionals in metalworking shops.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose spotting applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The Harvey Type II point geometry, combined with a two-flute spiral design and right-hand cutting direction, produces a clean, concentric spot that improves hole-location accuracy across production and prototype work. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.375-inch diameter seats directly into standard collet chucks and drill chucks without adapters. It is a single-ended tool packaged individually.

Key Features

• 120-degree point angle for accurate hole spotting and countersink seating
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat and abrasion resistance
• Harvey Type II point geometry reduces center-walking on entry
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance during spotting
• 0.0270-inch web thickness supports point strength at small diameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses equipped with standard collet or drill chuck toolholding accepting a 0.375-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with speeds, feeds, and toolholding practices for solid carbide cutting tools. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Verify shank runout is within acceptable limits after seating to protect the carbide from shock loading. Do not use in hand-held drilling applications.
