Value Collection 19442960038000S Spotting Drill 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 19442960038000S is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create accurate starter holes for follow-on drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree point angle that centers cleanly on flat and curved workpiece surfaces. The 3/8-inch cutting diameter and 2-inch overall length make it a compact, general-purpose tool suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling setups. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and general fabricators will find this drill well-suited for everyday spotting tasks across a range of common workpiece materials.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose shop applications where precise hole location is required before full-depth drilling. The right-hand cut, spiral-flute geometry clears chips efficiently during short spotting passes. It is appropriate for use in production shops, job shops, and maintenance environments working with steel, aluminum, brass, plastics, and other machinable materials. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without modification, making it easy to swap in and out of existing setups.

Key Features

• 118-degree drill point angle for accurate hole centering on flat and contoured surfaces
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose cutting applications
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with a wide range of cutting fluids and dry cutting
• 2-flute spiral geometry promotes chip evacuation during spotting passes
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Right-hand cut for use with conventional spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 3/8-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with drill press or machining center setup. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and keep spotting depth shallow to maintain point geometry. Inspect the cutting edges for wear regularly and replace the drill if chipping or point deformation is observed.
