Ground to a 118-degree point angle, it establishes a precise seat that eliminates walk and keeps subsequent drilling on location. The 0.25-inch cutting diameter is matched by an equal 0.25-inch straight cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters. The body is machined from high-speed steel and left in a bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose work across a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and production shop operators are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spotting drill is used in job shops, production machining cells, and maintenance environments where consistent hole location is required before drilling, tapping, or reaming. With a 1.5-inch overall length and a 0.625-inch flute length, it is sized for short-reach spotting applications in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and bench drill presses. The compact geometry keeps the tool rigid at the point of contact, reducing deflection on flat and contoured surfaces. It is a general-purpose tool appropriate for mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree point angle for accurate drill-start seating on standard workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25-inch cutting diameter with matching 0.25-inch straight cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness across general-purpose machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of the cutting edge condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo spiral flutes with right-hand cut for conventional clockwise spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1.5-inch overall length keeps the tool rigid in short-reach setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose spotting drill for use with standard drill chucks and straight-shank collet systems requiring a 0.25-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully within the chuck or collet to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged point will compromise hole location accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\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\u003eEnded\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 216-1516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692730679602,"sku":"216-1516","price":15.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/10219d2f4a60b00a3b120ef935061695.jpg?v=1788301870","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-216-1516-spotting-drill-1-4-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
