    Spotting drill angle

    I am finding various angles for these (82,90,120) and am wanting to know the appropriate angle of spot drill for use with 135 degree drills.

    Thanks
    Ken

    Ken,

    I use the 120 degree...as it will provide the best "nest" for most drill angles.

    I always use 90 degree spotting drills, and they are also usefull as a 45 degree
    chamfering tool.
    Really nice looking parts with a even chamfer all aorund them!

    Hi Pete,
    I was planning on getting a 90 degree, as well, for that very purpose, the 90 degree also make for easy DOC calculations.
