Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and lowers thrust when starting a hole. The stub-length body keeps the bit rigid under load, which is critical in screw machine and CNC lathe applications. With a straight cylindrical shank and web-thinned parallel web, this bit handles heavy-duty removal rates without the deflection common in longer general-purpose drills. It carries a 0.272 inch diameter and meets NAS 907 and ISO standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for metalworking trades including machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on steel and cast iron components. The screw machine length format is standard in turret lathes, CNC machining centers, and drill presses where short, rigid tooling is required to maintain tight tolerances. The two-flute spiral configuration provides efficient chip evacuation in ferrous materials, and the right-hand cut works with conventional machine spindle rotation. It is sold individually and performs well in both production and repair shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and prevents bit walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web improves cutting efficiency and lowers feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length provides extra rigidity for tight-tolerance drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute design for standard machine spindle rotation\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; fits any machine spindle or drill press chuck that accepts a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.272 inch diameter range.
