Walter-titex 5153692 Spotting Drill 1/4 in 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5153692 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to accurately locate and start holes before drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 90-degree point angle and a 0.250-inch cutting diameter. The overall length is 2.594 inches, with a 0.790-inch spiral flute length and a straight cylindrical shank matching the 0.250-inch cutting diameter. This drill is a general-purpose tool used in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance settings where precise hole location is required before full drilling or countersinking.

The 5153692 is suited for general-purpose spotting applications on a variety of workpiece materials. Its two-flute, right-hand spiral geometry provides clean chip evacuation during the spotting pass. With a straight-cylindrical shank, it fits standard drill chucks and collet holders commonly found in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual milling machines. The 90-degree included angle aligns with standard twist drill geometries, making it a practical choice for establishing precise center locations and eliminating drill walkoff before the primary drill enters the workpiece.

Installation Notes

Spotting drills are installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in machine shop environments. Always power down and lock out the spindle before installing or removing the drill from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck or collet is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification before running the spindle. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain point accuracy.
