Titan Usa TC95453 Spotting Drill 0.375 in Cobalt M-42

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC95453 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before drilling operations. Built from Cobalt M-42 high-speed steel, it holds hardness at elevated cutting temperatures, making it suitable for tough ferrous and exotic alloys. The 90-degree drill point angle creates a precise center dimple that seats standard twist drills and prevents walking on hard or finished surfaces. A Gold Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use. This tool is used by machinists and toolroom professionals on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and drill presses.

The TC95453 is suited for general-purpose spotting operations in job shop, production, and toolroom environments. With a 0.3750-inch cutting diameter and a straight cylindrical shank of equal diameter, it mounts directly in standard collets, end mill holders, or drill chucks without adapters. The spiral flute geometry with a right-hand cutting direction clears chips efficiently during short-cycle spotting passes. Typical applications include pre-spotting for twist drills, countersink preparation, and starting holes on flat or curved workpiece surfaces.

Key Features

• Cobalt M-42 construction retains cutting hardness under high-heat conditions on hard and abrasive materials
• 90-degree drill point angle for accurate hole location and compatibility with standard twist drill included angles
• Gold Oxide coating reduces friction and offers light surface protection
• Spiral flute, right-hand cut geometry promotes chip evacuation during spotting passes
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without adapters
• Single-ended design for use in standard toolholders on mills, machining centers, and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard straight-shank toolholders, collet chucks, and drill chucks sized for a 0.3750-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists following applicable machine tool safety procedures. Secure the workpiece and verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter before cutting. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or adjusting tooling. Do not use this drill as a reamer or side-cutting tool.
