Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cuts through hard workpieces without a center punch. The web-thinned, parallel web construction lowers thrust and improves chip evacuation. At 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches) in diameter, it fits standard drill chucks and is rated for heavy-duty performance across industrial and trade applications. This is a Series 2159 bit meeting NAS 907 and ISO standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for metalworking applications where a shorter, stiffer drill reduces deflection in deep or interrupted cuts. The screw machine length body — 3-7\/16 inches overall with a 2-1\/16 inch flute length — provides rigidity in drill press, CNC, and turret lathe setups. Primary workpiece materials are cast iron and steel. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard drill chucks or collet holders without requiring special adapters. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance trades commonly use this bit for production runs, fixture work, and field fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required thrust on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web design improves chip flow and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life in ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body provides added rigidity versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, turret lathes, and hand-held drill motors accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to reduce heat and extend tool life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant. Inspect the split point for chipping before reuse, and redress or replace bits that show wear to maintain hole tolerance. Disposal of HSS tooling should follow applicable shop and local regulations for metal waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\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 Helix\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\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\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\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 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: 48228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730919817522,"sku":"48228","price":27.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa6c07ff6906fa08bb0b4b218a25b2c3.jpg?v=1788724789","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48228-screw-machine-drill-bit-7-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
