Built to NAS 907 Type B standards, it is rated as a heavy-duty, high-performance tool suited for precision small-hole drilling in demanding materials. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact and requires less thrust than a 118-degree point. The two-flute spiral design with a tapered, web-thinned core clears chips efficiently. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and maintenance technicians rely on this bit for tight-tolerance work where diameter consistency is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for right-hand cutting in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters. The 1-1\/4 inch overall length and 3\/8 inch flute length make it appropriate for shallow precision holes in close-clearance applications such as sheet metal, structural plate, and machined components. The oxide coating provides a surface treatment that reduces friction during cutting. At 0.06 pounds, the bit is light and easy to handle in benchtop drill press or hand-drill applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 71 at 0.0260 inches decimal diameter for precision small-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree standard split point minimizes walking and reduces required thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration improves cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.0260 inches fits standard drill chucks directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type B specification for heavy-duty performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify concentricity to avoid deflection at this small diameter. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or cast iron to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use  -  small-diameter bits are susceptible to chipping if run at incorrect speeds or feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0260 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0260 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 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: Oxide\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: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150ASP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: 44741\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978061054258,"sku":"44741","price":42.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/782460eef0061e5342807dea23a26913_83834724-2ab7-40f8-8d84-c1b6d66240b2.jpg?v=1789979926","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44741-jobber-drill-bit-wire-71-hss-135","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
