Hertel H-8119C095207 Spotting Drill 3/8 in 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL H-8119C095207 is a high-speed steel spotting drill designed to create precise starter points for follow-on drilling operations. With a 3/8-inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree point angle, it accurately positions holes and reduces wander before the primary drill engages. The 7-inch overall length provides reach in a variety of fixturing setups, while the web-thinned geometry reduces thrust and improves centering performance. This is a single-ended, right-hand-cut tool suited for use in machining centers, drill presses, and CNC lathes operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal cutting in production and job-shop environments. The bright, uncoated finish makes it appropriate for use on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating compatibility is a consideration. The 1-inch flute length and spiral flute design assist with chip evacuation during short spotting passes. The straight cylindrical shank at 3/8 inch diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders found on most bench-top and floor-standing drilling equipment.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for accurate hole location and compatibility with common countersink geometry
• 3/8-inch cutting diameter with matching 3/8-inch straight cylindrical shank
• 7-inch overall length for extended reach in deeper setups
• High-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose applications
• Web-thinned design reduces axial thrust and improves centering accuracy
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard 3/8-inch drill chucks and collet systems on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes used in general metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after chucking to confirm concentricity before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.
