It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning and a tapered web configuration that reduces thrust during entry. The two-flute spiral design with a regular helix promotes chip evacuation in a wide range of materials. At 4.375 inches overall length with a 3.0625-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.2950 inches, this bit is sized for standard drill chucks and drill presses used in everyday trade work. It carries a DIN 338 standard designation and is rated as a general-purpose tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 44383 is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials in light industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. It fits jobber-length drilling tasks where a standard reach is appropriate and a full-length bit is not required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in keyed or keyless chucks without adapters. It is sold individually and works well as a bench spare or a replacement for worn bits in an existing set covering the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter M size at 0.2950 inches with a tight diameter tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction, bright uncoated finish for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, two-flute design promotes chip clearance in non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.2950 inches diameter, 1.3125 inches shank length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2950-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for drill presses, hand drills, and benchtop drilling equipment in non-ferrous metal and similar general-purpose applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard keyed or keyless drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to starting the spindle. When drilling non-ferrous metals, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges and point for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or blunting is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0010 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\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: 0.0613 pounds\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: 44383\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738632323378,"sku":"44383","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e72bcaab0408803341c49369f4b91b5f.jpg?v=1788802097","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44383-drill-bit-letter-m-0-2950-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
