Built from Cobalt M-42 high-speed steel, this single-ended drill delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for production and general-purpose machining environments. The 90-degree point angle produces clean, consistent seat geometry that keeps follow-up drills on location without walking. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 4 mm cutting diameter and 52 mm overall length, this tool fits compact toolholding setups on CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and drill presses alike. It is installed and used by machinists, toolroom technicians, and manufacturing maintenance personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spotting drill is suited to general-purpose spotting operations in steel, aluminum, cast iron, plastics, and similar machinable materials. The 4 mm diameter and 12 mm flute length make it appropriate for small-feature work where precise hole location is critical. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard collet chucks and drill chucks without modification. Two spiral flutes aid chip clearance during the brief engagement typical of spotting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree point angle for accurate drill seat geometry and reduced walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt M-42 construction provides elevated heat resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo spiral flutes assist chip evacuation during spotting engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-ended design optimized for dedicated spotting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses equipped with collet chucks or drill chucks accepting a 4 mm straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is securely clamped in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation. Verify runout is within acceptable limits before beginning production to maintain hole location accuracy. Follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for speeds, feeds, and coolant use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 mm (0.1575 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52 mm (2.0472 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 mm (0.4724 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 mm (0.1575 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt M-42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle\/Double Ended\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KEO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 956-000-159\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52035965845810,"sku":"956-000-159","price":43.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dc848d7da2d1a4490f53fe5437f17b45.jpg?v=1790023514","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/keo-956-000-159-spotting-drill-4mm-90-degree-cobalt-m-42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
