Precision Twist Drill 6000062 Spotting Drill 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000062 is a 90-degree spotting drill machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. It is designed to create precise starter holes that guide larger twist drills, reducing walking and improving hole location accuracy on metal workpieces. The cutting diameter is 0.250 inches (1/4 inch), and the overall length is 6 inches, making it suitable for work on standard machining centers and manual drill presses. The TiN finish increases surface hardness and extends tool life in general-purpose metal cutting applications. This drill is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

The 6000062 spotting drill is intended for general-purpose spotting and centering operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its 90-degree point angle is compatible with standard countersinking and spot-facing requirements common in production machining and job shop environments. The spiral flute geometry and straight cylindrical shank allow it to seat cleanly in standard drill chucks and collet holders. With a 3/4-inch flute length, it is best suited for shallow spotting passes rather than deep-hole drilling.

Key Features

• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and countersink compatibility
• High speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal cutting
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction for longer tool life
• 0.250-inch cutting diameter with matching 0.250-inch straight cylindrical shank
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance during spotting operations
• Right-hand cut with 6-inch overall length for reach on standard setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill from the SPLG-90 series, compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 1/4-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists using drill presses, CNC machining centers, or manual milling machines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the straight shank fully and evenly in the chuck or collet to prevent runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to maximize coating performance and tool life.
