Value Collection 1944296001200X6 Spotting Drill 1/2 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1944296001200X6 is a high-speed steel spotting drill designed to create precise starter holes for follow-on drilling operations. With a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree point angle, it establishes accurate center locations that guide twist drills and reduce walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for general-purpose use across a wide range of materials. At 6 inches overall length with a 1-3/8 inch flute length and a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, this single-ended tool fits standard drill chucks and collet holders commonly found in machine shop and fabrication environments.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal cutting applications in production, maintenance, and repair settings. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use spotting drills like this one as a first operation before drilling, reaming, or tapping to ensure hole location accuracy and reduce tool deflection on the finish drill.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is de-energized before inserting or removing the drill. Verify shank seating and chuck or collet torque per the machine manufacturer specifications before initiating a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
