Part of the Series 150D lineup, it is sized to wire gauge 42, which equals 0.0935 inches in decimal. The bit features a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust on entry. A bright, uncoated high speed steel construction keeps the profile simple and cost-effective for everyday shop and field use. With an overall length of 2.25 inches and a spiral flute design, this bit suits hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC setups requiring a straight-cylindrical shank. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working on light fabrication and mechanical assembly reach for this style regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for general-purpose drilling in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, as well as plastics and similar softer workpiece materials. The 1.25-inch flute length provides adequate chip evacuation for through-hole work in thin stock. The right-hand cut and regular spiral geometry make it a standard fit for conventional drill presses and handheld power drills. It conforms to DIN 338 standards, making it a reliable option in both production and maintenance-repair-operations environments where consistent sizing and geometry are expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 42 (0.0935 inches decimal) straight-cylindrical shank with matching drill diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for improved entry and reduced walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered web configuration and regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated high speed steel construction suitable for non-ferrous metals and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 standard for consistent geometry and interchangeability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute design for use with standard drill presses and handheld drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0935-inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople using standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, or handheld power drills with a keyed or keyless chuck. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened before starting the spindle. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, and replace the bit if the point is dull or the flutes are damaged to avoid oversized holes or workpiece damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0039 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CHICAGO-LATROBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731067470130,"sku":"44312","price":29.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/df680457cb475034feda5bea7ce51cb8.jpg?v=1788726520","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44312-drill-bit-wire-size-42-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
