Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point for fast penetration and reduced walking on entry. The stub-length body keeps the drill rigid under load, making it well suited for drill press and CNC lathe work where shorter overhang reduces deflection. With a diameter of 0.3281 inches (21\/64 inch) and an overall length of 2-15\/16 inches, it fits standard chucks and quick-change systems in production environments. A parallel web configuration and web-thinned geometry support clean chip evacuation in tough ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for metalworking applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication shops. Typical use cases include drilling operations on cast iron components, structural steel, and machined steel parts in both manual and CNC setups. The heavy-duty tool performance rating and NAS 907 specification make it appropriate for aerospace-grade and industrial metalworking environments where dimensional accuracy and consistent hole quality are required. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks across most benchtop and floor-standing drill presses and lathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e21\/64 inch (0.3281 inches) diameter with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates the need for a center punch on most metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web design promotes efficient chip evacuation in cast iron and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish extends tool life in abrasive ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length of 2-15\/16 inches overall provides rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 and ISO standards for dimensional and performance consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for drilling cast iron and steel workpieces.

Secure the workpiece and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material and diameter before starting. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the shank is seated cleanly before applying feed pressure. Do not run the bit without adequate chip clearance, and use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material to maintain tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3281 inches (21\/64 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\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: Parallel, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\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: 2159\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 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: 48221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748971577650,"sku":"48221","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f5932d75cc073365a80e210fd91c6a2a.jpg?v=1788900728","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48221-screw-machine-drill-bit-21-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
