Harvey Tool 38224 Spotting Drill 3/8 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 38224 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before a follow-up drilling operation. Featuring a 120-degree drill point angle and a 2-flute spiral flute configuration, it creates a precise center mark that guides subsequent drills and reduces walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural carbide substrate and is suited for general-purpose spotting across a range of materials. With a cutting diameter of 0.375 inches and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this tool is sized for use in standard CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills in production and job-shop environments.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal removal applications where accurate hole positioning is required. It is used in production machining, tool and die work, and precision fabrication settings. The right-hand cutting direction and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collets and drill chucks. The Harvey Type II point geometry delivers consistent spot depth control across ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in typical shop conditions.

Key Features

• 120-degree drill point angle for accurate hole spotting and chamfering
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute spiral configuration promotes chip clearance during spotting operations
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use across common workpiece materials
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters
• Harvey Type II point geometry for consistent spot depth and location accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use with standard collet systems and drill chucks accepting a 0.375-inch straight cylindrical shank in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals using standard collet or drill chuck toolholding systems. Confirm shank and collet sizes match before clamping. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits to maintain spotting accuracy. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed recommendations appropriate to the workpiece material.
