Value Collection 1944296003800Z5 Spotting Drill 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1944296003800Z5 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create precise center-start points for follow-on drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this drill features a 120-degree point angle and a 3/8-inch cutting diameter. The straight cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flutes make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Machinists, toolroom operators, and production floor technicians use this tool to accurately locate hole centers and reduce drill walk before boring, reaming, or tapping sequences.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose metal removal applications across a range of workpiece materials. With an overall length of 5 inches and a flute length of 1.125 inches, it fits standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes. The 120-degree point angle matches the geometry of most standard twist drills, allowing the spotting cone to seat cleanly without creating an interference chamfer. It is sold individually and intended for job shop, maintenance, and light production use.

Key Features

• 120-degree point angle matches standard twist drill geometry for accurate seat transfer
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose materials
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation during spotting operations
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without modification
• Single-ended design with right-hand cutting direction for conventional spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual machine tools that accept a 3/8-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should install and operate this drill. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before beginning the operation. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before changing tooling. Always use appropriate feeds, speeds, and cutting fluid recommendations for the workpiece material being machined.
