Harvey Tool 965216 Spotting Drill 1/4 in 82 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 965216 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise starting divots for twist drills, reamers, and other rotary cutting tools. Built with an 82-degree point angle and Harvey Type II point geometry, it establishes accurate hole locations while minimizing walking and deflection. The 0.25-inch cutting diameter and matching 0.25-inch straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. With a two-flute spiral configuration and bright uncoated finish, this tool is suited for general-purpose spotting operations in metals, plastics, and composites. It is a single-ended tool weighing 0.06 pounds.

The 965216 is intended for machining environments where hole-location accuracy is critical before full-depth drilling. It fits vertical machining centers, CNC drill-tap machines, and manual knee mills. The 0.75-inch flute length accommodates shallow spotting depths typical of production and job-shop workflows. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation. This tool is used by CNC machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision job-shop operators working with tight positional tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 82-degree point angle matches common twist-drill included angles for clean hand-off
• Harvey Type II point geometry reduces lateral forces and improves location accuracy
• Two spiral flutes with 0.25-inch cutting diameter and 0.75-inch flute length
• Bright uncoated finish suited for general-purpose spotting across a range of workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collets and drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use spotting drill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting 0.25-inch straight-cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Power down the spindle and confirm zero RPM before changing tooling. Do not exceed the spindle speed and feed parameters established for solid carbide tooling in the workpiece material being machined.
