HSS-Co5 (Cobalt) Titanium Aluminium Nitride Coated (TiAlN) Spotting Drill.
Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coated High Speed Steel with 5% Cobalt.
Violet/Grey colour.
Spotting Drills have practically no flutes and are designed to be extremely rigid.
They are used to create precise spot holes by making a small indentation in the workpiece that prevents the twist drill from wandering.
HSS CO Cobalt Spot Weld Cutter Kit Cutting Accessories Can Separate Spot Welded Cobalt Tips 6.5mm/ 8mm/ 10mm
Made of high-speed steel with titanium coating, cobalt tip with high sharpness for easy drill of hard spot welds.
Each spotting weld drill bit has permanently etched size markings for quick identification.
Easily separate spot-welded panels without distorting the sheet metal, suitable for thin stainless steel sheets, iron sheets, or other thin metal sheets.
Allow the spot drill to stay briefly at the bottom of the hole after spotting it to guarantee a flat surface for the twist drill. Because of this, G82 is usually a better cycle to employ than G81.
Have you ever noticed the shape resemblance between a chamfer tool and a spot drill? Well, you can chamfer just well with a spot drill. While we are on the subject of what else you can accomplish with a Spot Drill, consider counterboring for flat head cap screws. Let’s kill two birds with one stone instead of spot drilling, drilling, and then countersinking. The one snag is that the countersink specification for US flat head cap screws asks for an 82-degree countersink, whereas spot drills are typically 90 degrees. It prompted me to create the graphic below, which summarizes everything:
The bolt size is first, followed by the estimated diameter of the head, according to a manufacturer on the internet. HSS-CO Cobalt Drill Bit Set for Hardened Metal Drill Bits for Removing Welding Spot
Using some geometry, we can see that for a 90-degree angle, the cone of the cap screw is the hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle, and 1/2 the head diameter is thus the depth.
Now a little trig, and we can determine the error between the 82-degree countersink and our 90-degree spot drill’s countersinking. As you can see, it isn’t microscopic, but I doubt it is the end of the world.
It should be noted that 82-degree spotting exercises are also available but in fewer sizes. They will be precise and error-free (pardon the pun!). 9pcs Spot Weld Drill Bit Set Welder Cutter Titanium Coated
A simple check shows that 82-degree and 90-degree spotting drills are the same. You’ll need to purchase a spotting drill with a diameter equal to the head diameter of the flat head cap screw you intend to spot and countersink. A 3/4″ dia spotting drill is only useful for 5/16″ and smaller screws. These spotting drills are not cheap, costing around twice as much as a countersink, so you’d better be able to justify the expense with time savings. If I was going to perform much drilling, I guess I’d learn to sharpen drill bits quickly. We can thus spot drill, counterbore, and chamfer. But, wait, there’s more! You can also use your spot drill to engrave V-Bits! 6pcs High Speed Steel Spot Drilling Set Weld Cutter Titanium Coated Bits
