It carries a wire gauge size of 8, equal to 0.1990 inches in decimal, and is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend tool life. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of ferrous materials. With a right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned tip, the bit evacuates chips efficiently and starts cleanly without a center punch on most setups. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling cast iron and steel in both production and repair contexts. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on corded drills, drill presses, and milling machine quills. The overall length of 3.625 inches and flute length of 2.4375 inches place it in the standard jobber range, making it a practical choice for through-hole work in material up to approximately 2 inches thick without repositioning. The Series 150 designation identifies it within the CHICAGO-LATROBE general-purpose line produced to DIN 338 dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 8, 0.1990 inches decimal diameter with a tolerance of -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and cleaner starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for reduced friction in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.1990 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to DIN 338 standards for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in cast iron and steel applications.
