Value Collection 19442960071600S Spotting Drill Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 19442960071600S is a single-ended spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start hole positions before conventional drilling operations. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree drill point angle and a 0.4375-inch cutting diameter. The tool has an overall length of 2 inches, a 1-inch spiral flute length, and a straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.4375 inches in diameter. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it is suited for general-purpose spotting work in metalworking and machining environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the typical users.

This spotting drill is intended for general-purpose metal spotting applications in machine shop and production environments. The 118-degree point geometry is a standard angle compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials encountered in everyday machining. It is used in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual mills where accurate hole location is required before a twist drill, reamer, or boring tool follows. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and collet systems without modification.

Key Features

• 0.4375-inch (7/16 inch) cutting diameter for precise hole location
• 118-degree drill point angle, standard geometry for general-purpose spotting
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection for wear
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance during spotting
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard three-jaw chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.4375-inch straight cylindrical shank, compatible with drill presses, manual mills, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet to the recommended grip depth before operation. Ensure the spindle is at a complete stop before changing or adjusting the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or dry cutting as dictated by the workpiece material and machine manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool when point geometry is compromised.
