Value Collection 1944296005800Z7 Spotting Drill 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1944296005800Z7 is a high speed steel spotting drill designed to establish precise center points before full drilling operations. With a 0.625 inch cutting diameter and a 120-degree point angle, it creates accurate, shallow conical seats that guide twist drills and reduce walking on flat or curved workpiece surfaces. The 7 inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. This is a single-ended, right-hand cutting tool suited for general purpose shop use across machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications.

This spotting drill is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where accurate hole location is critical before drilling, countersinking, or reaming. The 1.625 inch flute length clears chips effectively in shallow spotting operations on metal workpieces. It is well suited for use in vertical mills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers where precise hole positioning is required on steel, aluminum, and similar materials. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical end users.

Compatibility

Designed as a general purpose spotting drill for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.625 inch straight cylindrical shank, compatible with drill presses, vertical mills, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before installing or removing the drill from its holder. Verify chuck or collet tightness before engaging the workpiece. Use appropriate workholding and cutting speeds for the workpiece material to prevent tool deflection or breakage.
