Built to Series 404 standards, it features a 90-degree drill point angle, a 6mm cutting diameter (0.2362 inches), and an overall length of 51mm (2.008 inches). The bright\/uncoated finish makes it well suited for general-purpose spotting operations across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this drill in CNC machining centers, mills, and drill presses where precise hole location is critical before follow-on operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metalworking and machining applications. With a 26mm (1.024-inch) spiral flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank, it seats securely in standard collets and drill chucks. The 90-degree included angle aligns with the most common follow-on drill point geometry, minimizing walk-off and keeping hole position within tight tolerances. It is used in job shops, production environments, and toolroom settings handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance during spotting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree drill point angle matches common twist drill geometry to reduce hole walk-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6mm cutting diameter with a matching 6mm straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck or collet seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26mm spiral flute length with a 21-degree helix angle for controlled chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, single-ended design for standard CNC and manual machine setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard ER collet chucks, Weldon-shank adapters, and keyed or keyless drill chucks accepting a 6mm straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the collet or chuck to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for the workpiece material and carbide tooling before initiating the cut. Avoid side loading or using this tool for plunge milling operations outside its rated spotting application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6mm (0.2362 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51mm (2.008 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26mm (1.024 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6mm (0.2362 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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 degrees\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 404\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnded\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40423620\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731385778482,"sku":"40423620","price":67.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3d5df7331f6595ee972c8dfb3cd69a72.jpg?v=1788730334","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-40423620-solid-carbide-spotting-drill-6mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
