Value Collection 1944296003800Z3 Spotting Drill 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1944296003800Z3 is a general-purpose spotting drill designed to create accurate center points and guide holes for follow-on twist drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 120-degree point angle that reduces walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The cutting diameter measures 0.375 inches, and the overall length is 3.125 inches. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips effectively during spotting operations. This tool is suited for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians working in metal fabrication, job shop, and industrial maintenance settings.

This spotting drill is intended for use on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines where accurate hole location is required before final drilling. The 120-degree included angle is compatible with most standard twist drill point angles, helping produce a clean conical seat that reduces drill runout and improves positional accuracy. Its single-ended, straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet systems without modification.

Key Features

• 120-degree point angle reduces drill wander and improves hole-location accuracy
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose metalworking applications
• Bright, uncoated finish for easy visual inspection of cutting edges
• Two spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation during spotting
• Straight cylindrical shank seats reliably in standard drill chucks and collets
• Right-hand cut for use with standard clockwise spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.375-inch straight shank, on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Secure the straight shank fully in a drill chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting. Always confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the workpiece. Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured or clamped to prevent movement during spotting operations.
