Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip clearance. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. At 1 inch overall length with a 0.25-inch flute length, this bit is sized for compact, precise work. It conforms to DIN 338 standards and is part of the 150D Series, a line geared toward consistent performance in production and maintenance drilling environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar workpiece materials in maintenance, manufacturing, and trade-service applications. The wire gauge sizing, designated as Wire Size 73 (0.0240 inches decimal), makes it a common choice when tapping smaller-diameter threads or when precise undersized holes are required. HVAC, electrical, and plumbing contractors working with sheet metal, copper tubing flanges, or light-gauge components will find this size useful for pilot holes and tapping operations. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire Size 73 diameter — 0.0240 inches decimal equivalent for precise undersized and tapping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and cleaner entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 standards — 150D Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank, suited for non-ferrous metal and similar workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill presses, hand drills, or CNC equipment. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation. At this small diameter, use appropriate feed rates and cutting speeds for the workpiece material to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent movement during drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0240 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 73\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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\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\u003eMaterial\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\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\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0007 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 44343\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749163729202,"sku":"44343","price":38.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eb3ff4a4dba01bd21ce0aa629d4820e8.jpg?v=1788902830","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44343-jobber-drill-bit-0-024-in-hss-wire-73","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
