It features a standard 118-degree drill point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration with web thinning for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.2900 inches in diameter and seats securely in standard drill chucks. With an overall length of 4.25 inches and a flute length of 2.9375 inches, the 44382 is suited for general-purpose drilling applications. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals install this bit in handheld or bench-mounted drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for drilling non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar soft alloys, where clean entry and accurate hole sizing are required. The Series 150D geometry conforms to DIN 338 standards, making it a recognized general-purpose jobber bit for production and service work. Its 0.0561-pound weight keeps tool fatigue low during repetitive drilling tasks. The bright finish is appropriate for non-ferrous applications where coating is unnecessary and dimensional tolerances must be held tightly, with a diameter tolerance range of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter L size: 0.2900 inches diameter with a tight tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose durability across non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute regular spiral flute design promotes efficient chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suits non-ferrous metal drilling where coatings are not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 standard jobber length geometry, Series 150D\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 standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2900-inch straight-cylindrical shank.
