Harvey Tool 932816-C3 Spotting Drill 0.25in 60 Deg Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 932816-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise, accurate starting points for follow-on drilling operations in metal and hard materials. It features a 60-degree Harvey Type II point angle, a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, and an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating that increases surface hardness and heat resistance during high-speed cutting. With a 2.5-inch overall length and a 0.75-inch flute length, this single-ended tool is built for rigidity and repeatable spot accuracy. It is suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills where consistent hole location is critical.

This spotting drill is used in general-purpose metal cutting applications, including production machining of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard 0.25-inch collets and drill chucks, making it a straightforward drop-in for most CNC and manual setups. It cuts right-hand and runs as a single-ended tool, so there is no reversing or indexing required.

Key Features

• 60-degree Harvey Type II point angle for accurate drill spotting and chamfering
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life at elevated cutting speeds
• Spiral flute geometry with two flutes promotes chip evacuation
• 0.25-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Single-ended design with right-hand cutting direction

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard 0.25-inch collet or drill chuck toolholding.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or chuck and torque the toolholder to the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout after installation before beginning a production run, as excessive runout will reduce spot accuracy and shorten tool life.
