Micro 100 SPD-500-090X Spotting Drill 0.5 Inch 90 Degree Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 SPD-500-090X is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create accurate starting points for subsequent drilling operations. Built with a 90-degree drill point angle and a 0.5000-inch cutting diameter, this tool delivers precise spot locations that reduce drill walk and improve hole accuracy. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. With a 2.5-inch overall length and a straight cylindrical shank, it mounts directly in standard toolholders. Machinists, CNC operators, and tool and die professionals use this drill for general-purpose spotting applications on a range of materials.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose machining environments where accurate hole placement is critical before drilling, countersinking, or tapping. The right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral design support clean chip evacuation and consistent performance in both CNC machining centers and manual mill setups. Its 0.5000-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, making tool selection and setup straightforward for shop-floor use.

Key Features
