Harvey Tool 787724 Spotting Drill 3/8 in 90 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 787724 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create accurate, centered starter holes before full drilling operations. With a 90-degree point angle and a cutting diameter of 0.375 inches (3/8 inches), it establishes a precise location point that reduces drill walk and improves hole-to-hole consistency. The Harvey Type II point geometry is suited for general-purpose spotting across a range of work materials. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.5-inch flute length, this drill is compact enough for use in confined setups on both manual and CNC machines. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision fabricators.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose machining applications where accurate hole location is required before a twist drill, reamer, or boring operation. The bright/uncoated finish makes it suitable for a broad range of base materials where specialized coatings are not required. Its 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard collet chucks and drill chucks found on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses. The right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral design ensure clean chip evacuation during spotting operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision spotting applications
• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate centering before standard drill operations
• Harvey Type II point geometry for improved spotting performance across general-purpose materials
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip clearance during use
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet and drill chuck toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard 3/8-inch straight-shank collet chucks and drill chucks on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and bench drill presses.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists using standard collet or drill chuck toolholding. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is properly seated and torqued in the holder before operation. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and carbide tooling. Carbide is brittle and should not be subjected to side loading or interrupted cuts outside of its rated application.
