Precision Twist Drill 6000097 Hss Spotting Drill 3/4 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000097 is a high speed steel spotting drill designed to accurately start holes and guide subsequent drilling operations in metal and general-purpose materials. Built to the Series SPS-90 standard, it features a 90-degree drill point angle and a 0.750-inch cutting diameter, making it well suited for establishing precise hole centers before full-depth boring. The bright, uncoated finish suits standard machining environments where additional coating is not required. This single-ended tool is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with drill presses, CNC machining centers, or manual milling machines.

The 6000097 is intended for general-purpose spotting applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar machinable materials. Its 5-inch overall length and 1.875-inch flute length make it appropriate for setups where moderate tool reach is needed without sacrificing rigidity. The straight cylindrical shank allows direct mounting in standard drill chucks and collet systems. Right-hand cutting direction means it is driven in the standard clockwise rotation used on conventional machine tools.

Key Features

• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate center spotting and chamfering prior to drilling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit spotting drill for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.750-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Before mounting the tool, power down and lock out the machine spindle per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the straight shank fully in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before applying power. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as a damaged spotting drill can produce inaccurate center locations.
