Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and improves bite on harder surfaces. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust requirements and supports cleaner entry. At 1.75 inches overall length with a 0.375-inch flute length, the 44603 is suited for tight-clearance and general-purpose drilling tasks. It meets NAS 907 Type B standards and is rated as a heavy duty, high performance tool. HVAC, mechanical, and service technicians keep this size on hand for sheet metal, bracket, and component drilling in the field and the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 44603 is sized at 3\/64 inch (0.0469 inch decimal equivalent) with a straight-cylindrical shank of matching 3\/64-inch diameter and a 1-inch shank length. Its right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry handles cast iron, stainless steel, and mild steel. This bit is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 12 units, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop bin at a consistent size that sees frequent use in trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and improves penetration on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and extends bit life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type B specification for heavy duty, high performance drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.
