Precision Twist Drill 6002389 Spotting Drill 1/2 in Carbide

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6002389 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before drilling operations. Built to the DS-90 series standard, it features a 90-degree point angle and a 0.5-inch cutting diameter with a matching 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank. The 4-inch overall length and 1.25-inch spiral flute length make it well-suited for general-purpose metalworking applications. The bright uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide tooling intended for use across a range of workpiece materials. Right-hand cutting direction and a two-flute spiral geometry help maintain accurate positioning and clean entry geometry.

This spotting drill is used in machine shop, manufacturing, and fabrication environments where precise hole location is required before through-drilling, reaming, or tapping. It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills. The 90-degree point angle conforms to a common industry standard that aligns well with standard twist drill point geometry, minimizing drill walk and improving positional accuracy on flat and angled surfaces.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for accurate hole spotting aligned with standard twist drill geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in general-purpose machining
• 0.5-inch cutting diameter with matching 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank
• 1.25-inch spiral flute length with two-flute design for controlled chip formation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction, single-ended configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard 0.5-inch collets, chucks, and toolholders used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Spotting drills are installed and removed by qualified machinists following standard toolholding procedures for the machine in use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify shank diameter matches the collet or chuck specification before securing. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for speeds and feeds when operating carbide tooling.
