Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it delivers extended tool life under demanding shop conditions. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers thrust requirements at the start of the cut. At 3-1\/16 inches overall length and a 0.348-inch diameter, this bit fits the compact reach requirements typical of screw machine and turret lathe work. Two spiral flutes with web thinning clear chips efficiently and reduce heat buildup during continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for production machining environments where tight tolerances and consistent performance are required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in drill chucks and quick-change toolholders. Primary workpiece materials are cast iron and steel. The Series 2159 heavy-duty designation indicates this bit is built for repetitive, high-cycle drilling rather than occasional use. It is commonly found in machine shops, job shops, and industrial maintenance settings where screw machine length tooling is standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and minimizes bit walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web configuration improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for cast iron and steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body for use in close-clearance and production setups\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 as a direct-fit replacement for screw machine length drill bits in the 0.300 to 0.350 inch diameter range; fits standard drill chucks and quick-change toolholders that accept straight-cylindrical shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the chuck and tighten to the manufacturer-specified chuck torque for the machine in use. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for wear before each production run; replace the bit when the split point shows visible rounding or the diameter tolerance can no longer be held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.348 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 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\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2159\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: 48250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735625990450,"sku":"48250","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/702610c9ff7cae516c976823034acaab.jpg?v=1788773343","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48250-screw-machine-drill-bit-0-348-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
