With a 90-degree point angle and a 0.375-inch cutting diameter, this tool establishes a precise seat for twist drills, reducing wander and improving hole location accuracy. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose use in a wide range of common workpiece materials. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 1.125-inch flute length, it is well-proportioned for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling setups. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and fabrication professionals install and operate this type of tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal removal applications where precise hole positioning is required prior to standard drilling. The straight cylindrical shank and compact overall length make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders found on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses. Right-hand cutting direction matches conventional spindle rotation. The two-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently during the spotting pass and minimizes heat buildup at the contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree point angle for accurate drill-point seating and reduced runout on follow-up operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a broad range of common metals and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows visual inspection of cutting edges and suits dry or lightly lubricated cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute spiral geometry promotes chip evacuation during spotting passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-ended, right-hand cut configuration for use in conventionally rotating spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.375-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians following applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before mounting or changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck or collet to the appropriate clamping torque for the holder type, referencing the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines. Confirm correct spindle rotation direction before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.125 inches (3-1\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches (1-1\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle\/Double Ended\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.099 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1944296003800X3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702083584306,"sku":"1944296003800X3","price":31.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/efdde455c4edf0001a8541c27ede3bb4.jpg?v=1788408921","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1944296003800x3-spotting-drill-3-8in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
