Spi MS220908005 Drill Point Gage 118 Degree Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SPI MS220908005 is a drill point gage designed to verify the point angle of twist drills before and during use. The gage features a 118-degree bevel angle, making it suited for checking the most common twist drill geometry used in metalworking and general fabrication. The head is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. A ruler is included and is graduated in 1-millimeter increments, with a ruler length of 20 millimeters and a ruler width of 15 millimeters. Graduations are located on the front face for direct, unobstructed reading. The surface finish is smooth. This tool is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades.

The MS220908005 is intended for use with standard twist drills ground to a 118-degree included angle. This covers the majority of general-purpose high-speed steel drill bits used in production and maintenance environments. The gage is appropriate for bench use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance shops where drill point geometry is checked after regrinding or before critical drilling operations. The compact size makes it practical for use at a drill press, lathe, or bench grinder station.

Key Features

• 118-degree bevel angle for verifying standard twist drill point geometry
• Stainless steel head construction resists corrosion and wear
• Integrated ruler with 1 mm graduation, 20 mm length, and 15 mm width
• Front-face graduation location for direct reading without repositioning
• Smooth surface finish for consistent contact and accurate referencing
• Compact single-piece design for bench or portable use

Compatibility

Designed for use with twist drills ground to a 118-degree point angle, which is the standard geometry for general-purpose twist drills used in metalworking and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before checking drill geometry, ensure the drill is secured and not rotating. Clean the drill point of chips or coolant residue before placing the gage for an accurate reading. This tool requires no calibration equipment beyond periodic visual inspection for wear or damage to the bevel edges.
