90° Spot Drill Set
This four-piece 90° Spot Drill Kit includes the most commonly used diameters for precision hole-starting applications:
- 1/8-inch spot drill
- 1/4-inch spot drill
- 3/8-inch spot drill
- 1/2-inch spot drill
Each drill features a 90° included point angle—ideal for accurately starting holes in a wide range of materials.
Why Use Spot Drills Instead of Center Drills?
Unlike center drills—designed for lathe centers with a 60° taper—spot drills are optimized for milling and drilling operations. Their short, rigid design and single-angle geometry provide superior accuracy and reduce deflection, ensuring that your twist drill starts exactly where it should.
A 90° spot drill is especially effective when used before a standard 118° or 135° twist drill, as it engages the material in a way that centers the larger drill precisely and prevents walking.
Ideal For:
- Precision hole location
- Pre-drilling hard or uneven surfaces
- Applications where hole accuracy and finish are critical
