Value Collection 19442960012000S Spotting Drill Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 19442960012000S is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create precise starting points for twist drills and other cutting tools. Machined from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers a clean 118-degree point angle that reduces walking and improves hole location accuracy. The 0.5-inch cutting diameter and 2-inch overall length make it a compact, general-purpose option suited to manual mills, CNC machining centers, and drill presses. Installation and use are handled by machinists and toolroom technicians working across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal removal applications where accurate hole positioning is required before through-drilling or tapping. The right-hand cutting direction and straight cylindrical shank allow it to seat directly in standard collets, drill chucks, and ER-style toolholders. It is a common choice on production floors, job shops, and maintenance departments that require consistent, repeatable spotting performance without a coated tool premium.

Key Features

• 118-degree point angle for broad compatibility with standard twist drill geometries
• High-speed steel construction provides good toughness and wear resistance in general-purpose cutting
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection for wear and damage
• Two spiral flutes promote chip evacuation during the spotting operation
• Straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks and collet toolholders
• Single-ended design for straightforward tool-change and setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard drill chucks, ER collet systems, and other toolholders accepting a 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists or toolroom technicians. Confirm the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or inspecting the tool. Seat the shank fully in the collet or chuck and torque the retention device per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain point geometry.
