Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a gold oxide coating, this bit is engineered for heavy-duty drilling in hard and abrasive materials. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force required to start the hole. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a 1.125-inch flute length. It is suited for professional machinists, maintenance mechanics, and metalworking tradespeople who require consistent performance in demanding production or field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is rated for primary use in titanium and other hard metals where standard high-speed steel tooling falls short. The M42 cobalt alloy composition provides elevated red hardness, making it appropriate for stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and other work-hardening materials. The tapered web with web-thinning reduces cutting resistance and chip packing in deep holes. Conforming to DIN 338 and NAS 907 Type J standards, the 46716 is a recognized specification-grade tool for aerospace, industrial maintenance, and precision fabrication applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for superior hardness and heat resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punch requirement on most metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold oxide finish improves lubricity and provides visual wear indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting torque and minimizes chip packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with right-hand cut in straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets DIN 338 and NAS 907 Type J specifications for aerospace and industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-specification replacement or direct-use jobber-length drill bit for applications requiring a No. 46 wire gauge size in cobalt grade tooling, conforming to NAS 907 Type J and DIN 338 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a standard keyless or keyed drill chuck capable of holding a 0.0810-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant to maximize tool life when drilling titanium or stainless steel, as dry drilling significantly reduces bit longevity. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling to prevent deflection at this small diameter. Inspection and replacement of worn bits should follow shop safety protocols per applicable OSHA or facility guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 46\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0810 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0810 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 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\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 Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 Cobalt HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \/ Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 550\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338, NAS 907 Type J\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0031 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: 46716\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731004883250,"sku":"46716","price":43.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5e18f3a73fcc1e869d3fccf79cdc8be4_5bb89f34-ecf4-4409-bc9a-81abdca3132c.jpg?v=1788725744","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-46716-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-no-46","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
