Harvey Tool 988008-C3 Spotting Drill 1/8 in 90 Deg Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 988008-C3 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise, accurate starting points for follow-on drilling operations. With a 90-degree point angle and a 0.125-inch cutting diameter, this tool establishes a clean center location that prevents drill walk on flat and angled workpiece surfaces. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. The 3-inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. This tool is intended for use by machinists, tool and die professionals, and precision fabricators working on CNC machining centers or manual milling machines.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose spotting applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where drill positioning accuracy is critical. The Harvey Type I point geometry and two-flute spiral configuration produce a consistent, repeatable countersink-style entry point. Typical applications include pre-spotting hole locations before twist drilling, reaming, or tapping in production and job-shop machining environments. It is sold as a single-ended tool, one piece per package.

Key Features

• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate drill-start location
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• Harvey Type I point geometry with two spiral flutes
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cutting direction, single-ended design

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling setups that accept a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with cutting tool setup and speeds and feeds selection. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits. Power down the machine spindle completely before changing or inspecting the tool. Do not use this tool as a center drill or reamer, as it is designed specifically for spotting operations.
