Reliable Centering for Professional Drilling Operations
The HSSCo8 NC-Spotting Drill 120° Short Version is a high-performance tool for exact spotting and centering tasks. Its compact design ensures high bending strength and minimizes vibrations, contributing significantly to precise positioning on the workpiece surface. The 120° point angle optimally prepares the hole for following drills, reducing wear on the cutting corners and supporting stable machining processes on modern CNC centers.

Applications
This spotting drill is perfectly suited for creating accurate starting holes and centerings prior to deep drilling. It is primarily utilized in CNC manufacturing to effectively prevent the lateral deflection of subsequent drills. By matching common point angles, it protects the cutting edges of the following drill, increasing process reliability when working with structural steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloys.
Special features
The HSSCo8 construction provides solid hot hardness and wear resistance, allowing tough materials to be spotted reliably. Thanks to the universal cylindrical shank, the tool is fully compatible with standard chucks and holders. Please note the staggered minimum order quantity depending on the selected diameter to plan your tool requirements efficiently.
