It measures 0.0145 inches in diameter, corresponding to wire gauge size 79, with an overall length of 0.75 inches and a flute length of 0.125 inches. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for improved penetration and reduced walking on entry. This is a bench or hand-drill bit suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals requiring small-diameter precision drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 44349 is built for general-purpose drilling applications in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, as well as plastics and light materials. Its right-hand spiral flute design efficiently evacuates chips during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, making it straightforward to deploy in drill presses, CNC machines, or hand drills wherever a wire-gauge 79 hole is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 79 diameter: 0.0145 inches for small-diameter precision work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for cleaner entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluids or dry drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit conforming to DIN 338 standards, compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the wire-gauge size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of small-diameter drill bits should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with proper chuck seating and runout checks. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before use to minimize deflection and bit breakage at this diameter. For non-ferrous metals, use a compatible cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the bit for tip damage before each use, as small-diameter high speed steel bits are susceptible to breakage under lateral loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0145 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard with Web Thinning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0006 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: 44349\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736965906738,"sku":"44349","price":79.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8b4159b4094a4a5128996d7052fe540f.jpg?v=1788782454","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44349-jobber-drill-bit-0-0145-in-wire-79","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
