Precision Twist Drill 6000112 Spotting Drill 3/8 in Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000112 is a high-speed steel spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for subsequent drilling operations. With a 3/8 inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree point angle, it establishes accurate center points that guide larger drills and reduce wander on entry. The 5 inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool suits general-purpose metal-cutting applications across fabrication, maintenance, and production environments. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for use with conventional drill press and CNC setups.

The 6000112 spotting drill is used in metalworking shops, machine maintenance facilities, and production lines where hole location accuracy is critical. Its 1.125 inch flute length handles typical spotting depths without chip packing. The general-purpose performance rating makes it appropriate for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals working in industrial and commercial settings are the primary users of this tool.
