Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this Series 150ASP bit carries a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust needed to start a hole. The wire-size No. 48 designation corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.0760 inches. At 2 inches overall length with a 1-inch spiral flute, it is suited for close-tolerance work in tight clearances. Right-hand cut, two-flute construction with a regular spiral and tapered web configuration rounds out the design. NAS 907 Type B specification compliance confirms it meets established aerospace and industrial standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for primary use in cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces. The heavy-duty grade and web-thinned point make it appropriate for production environments, job shop drilling, and MRO applications where small-diameter precision holes are required. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, sheet metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in metal fabrication or aerospace environments will find this bit at home in both hand-held drills and drill press setups. It is packaged individually and sold in multiples of 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and cutting thrust on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration for improved chip clearance in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNAS 907 Type B compliant for applications requiring traceable specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adaptation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty grade high-speed steel construction for repeated use in hard ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for drilling cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit deflection or breakage at this diameter. Ensure the drill chuck is tightened properly and the bit runs true before engaging the material. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel to extend bit life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0760 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0760 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150ASP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type B\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0026 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: 45718\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753313829170,"sku":"45718","price":32.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/782460eef0061e5342807dea23a26913_36b1efc8-9f00-4626-9eb9-fb45f7947c0e.jpg?v=1788935303","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-45718-no-48-jobber-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
