Sized at wire gauge 48, it measures 0.0760 inches in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 1-inch flute length. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a fast spiral flute geometry, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks used in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment. This is a Series 150B bit sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46118 is suited for production drilling and maintenance work where precise small-diameter holes are required. Its wire size 48 diameter makes it appropriate for pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and fine metalworking operations. The right-hand cut and fast spiral flute combination moves chips efficiently out of the hole during through-drilling. This bit is a practical choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with steel plate, structural steel, and similar ferrous materials in shop or field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 48 diameter at 0.0760 inches for precise small-bore drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for general-purpose steel drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute with right-hand cut for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch overall length with 1-inch flute length in Series 150B jobber configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish; diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks accepting a 0.0760-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by machinists and metalworkers using standard drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, or CNC spindles. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout on precision applications. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Inspect the point for wear or chipping before each use; a damaged 118-degree point will affect hole quality and increase thrust load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Fast)\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, Web-Thinned\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\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: 150B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0024 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: 46118\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747239264562,"sku":"46118","price":44.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/035721641bc64d915171e29cdd7b4133.jpg?v=1788877993","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-46118-jobber-drill-bit-wire-size-48-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
