Sgs 06099 Spotting Drill 130 Degree Point Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 06099 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create accurate, centered starter holes before drilling or boring operations. Built to Series M155 standards, it features a 130-degree point angle that reduces walking and delivers precise hole location on metal workpieces. The cutting diameter measures 0.161 inches with an overall length of 1.5 inches, making it well suited for compact setups and close-tolerance work. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for solid carbide tooling used across a wide range of workpiece materials. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in metalworking environments.

The SGS 06099 is used in precision machining applications where accurate hole positioning is critical before full-depth drilling. Its 2-flute spiral design and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills. The 0.125-inch straight shank fits common collet and chuck systems. Typical applications include pre-spotting on steel, aluminum, and similar metals in both production and job-shop environments where repeatable entry-point accuracy is required.

Key Features

• 130-degree point angle reduces drill walk and improves hole-location accuracy
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in metalworking applications
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• 2-flute spiral geometry supports chip evacuation during spotting operations
• 0.125-inch straight shank fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Right-hand cut, single-ended design for straightforward setup in rotating spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use spotting drill for CNC machining centers and manual drilling equipment accepting a 0.125-inch straight shank tool holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists familiar with rotating cutting tool setup and spindle tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or chuck. Verify collet runout before use, as excessive runout will reduce spotting accuracy and shorten tool life. Follow shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
