Titan Usa TC18748 Spotting Drill 0.75in 4in Oal Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC18748 is a 2-flute solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise center-point indentations before twist drilling operations. Built to a 90-degree drill point angle with a 0.75-inch cutting diameter and a 4-inch overall length, this tool provides a stable starting point that prevents drill wander on flat or curved surfaces. The bright, uncoated carbide construction offers low friction and clean chip evacuation in a wide range of metalworking materials. It is well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills used in production and job shop environments.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose machining applications where accurate hole location is critical before drilling, reaming, or tapping. The 1.75-inch spiral flute length and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and drill chucks used in typical machine tool setups. It is a single-ended tool with right-hand cutting direction, appropriate for conventional metalworking workflows in manufacturing, toolroom, and maintenance operations.

Key Features

• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate spot centering before follow-on drilling
• 0.75-inch cutting diameter with matching 0.75-inch straight-cylindrical shank
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute spiral geometry promotes chip clearance during spotting
• Bright, uncoated finish reduces built-up edge in many common workpiece materials
• Single-ended, right-hand cut configuration suits standard machine spindle setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use with standard collet chucks and drill chucks accepting a 0.75-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for CNC machining centers and conventional drill presses.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the shank to confirm accurate tool alignment. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer guidelines for appropriate feed rates and spindle speeds for the workpiece material.
