Walter-titex 5153708 Spotting Drill 3/8 in 90 Deg Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5153708 is a single-ended spotting drill designed to create accurate center points before drilling operations. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this drill features a 90-degree point angle that produces consistent, repeatable spot locations on a wide range of workpiece materials. The 3/8 inch cutting diameter and matching 3/8 inch straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. With an overall length of 3.5 inches and a spiral flute design, it suits general-purpose production and maintenance machining environments. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and CNC operators rely on spotting drills like this to eliminate walkout and improve positional accuracy before running twist drills or boring operations.

This spotting drill is suited for general-purpose metalworking applications in both production shop and maintenance environments. It is used on drill presses, machining centers, and CNC turning centers where accurate hole location is critical. The Series A1115S design is intended for right-hand cutting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials where a center spot or chamfer is required prior to drilling. The 0.98 inch flute length handles typical spotting depths without chip packing concerns.

Key Features

• 90-degree point angle for standard spotting and chamfering prior to drilling
• High-speed steel construction provides toughness across general-purpose materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance during the spotting operation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and ER collet systems
• Right-hand cut, single-ended configuration compatible with conventional spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose spotting drill for use in standard 3/8 inch drill chucks and collet holders on drill presses, vertical machining centers, and CNC mills running right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or collet is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Confirm runout is within acceptable limits for the application before beginning a spotting cycle. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
