Key Features & Advantages

  • Dual-Function Versatility: Ideal for both high-precision fixed-point spotting (pilot hole positioning) and consistent 90-degree outer edge chamfering.
  • Premium Carbide Substrate: Formulated with 10% Cobalt content, achieving HRA 91.2–91.7 and core workpiece hardness ratings up to HRC55.
  • Anti-Drift Web Design: Short, rigid flute design prevents tool deflection and wandering, significantly increasing primary twist drill life and hole concentricity.
  • Chip Clearance for Non-Ferrous Metals: Highly polished flute geometry prevents chip adhesion and built-up edge (BUE) when cutting soft aluminum and copper.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the benefit of using a 90-degree carbide spot drill for aluminum?

A: A 90-degree spot drill creates an exact center location for secondary drilling while simultaneously leaving a pre-chamfer on the hole entrance, eliminating extra tool changes in CNC aluminum batch machining.

Q2: Can this spotting drill be applied to copper or brass alloys?

A: Yes. The micrograin carbide formulation (HRA 91.2-91.7) offers balanced toughness and edge sharpness, making it highly effective on copper alloys, brass, and other non-ferrous materials.

Q3: How deep should the spot drill penetrate into the workpiece?

A: For spotting only, the depth should be approximately one-third of the secondary drill diameter. If used for simultaneous chamfering, program the depth to match your target chamfer diameter.

Q4: What is the standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time for wholesale orders?

A: We maintain regular stock for standard sizes listed in the catalog, allowing dispatch within 3–7 business days. For customized dimensions or bulk contract manufacturing, please contact us directly for MOQ requirements.
