Titan Usa TC18932 Spotting Drill 0.5in 142pt Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC18932 is a solid carbide spotting drill designed to create precise center-point indentations before full-depth drilling operations. Built to a 142-degree point angle, it produces a clean, accurate seat that guides twist drills and reduces walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The 0.5 inch cutting diameter and 3 inch overall length make it well suited for a wide range of setups on vertical mills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. Its bright, uncoated finish and right-hand spiral flutes suit general-purpose spotting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and CNC operators are the primary users.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metalworking applications where a precise starting location is required before drilling, countersinking, or tapping. The 1 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for spotting depths typical in production and job-shop environments. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.5 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without modification. It is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC machine tool setups across light manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication shops.

Key Features

• 142-degree point angle for accurate center-spotting with minimal flat or land contact
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose cutting without coating-related heat concerns
• Two spiral flutes with right-hand cut for standard machining center compatibility
• 0.5 inch straight cylindrical shank fits common drill chucks and ER collet holders
• Single-ended design — 1 inch flute length, 3 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard 0.5 inch drill chucks and collet systems on vertical machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators familiar with machine tool safety. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the chuck or collet holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck or collet is tightened to the machine manufacturer's specification before initiating a cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine tool operating procedures at all times.
