Keo 956-000-132 Spotting Drill 3/16 in 142 Pt Carbide

Product Description

The KEO 956-000-132 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise, centered starter holes before drilling operations. With a 3/16 inch cutting diameter and a 142-degree point angle, it accurately defines hole locations and reduces drill walk on flat or angled surfaces. The 2 inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. Right-hand cut with a two-flute spiral design, this tool is suited for general-purpose spotting in metals, plastics, and composites. Machinists and toolroom operators use spotting drills like this to improve hole location accuracy and extend the life of follow-up twist drills.

This spotting drill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling machines where accurate hole positioning is required. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for use in a wide range of materials without coating compatibility concerns. It is a single-ended tool with a 13/16 inch flute length, providing adequate chip clearance in shallow spotting applications typical of production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 142-degree point angle optimized for accurate hole spotting and center location
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation during spotting operations
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut for use with conventional clockwise spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and milling machines equipped with standard collet or drill chuck toolholding systems accepting a 3/16 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Spotting drills are installed and removed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a collet or chuck to the appropriate runout tolerance before beginning any operation. Use recommended spindle speeds for carbide tooling in the workpiece material and avoid manually forcing the tool into cut.
