Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 2-11\/16 inches and a flute length of 1-1\/2 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned geometry reduce entry force and improve chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is part of the Series 157 general purpose line and is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working across a range of metal substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48518 is engineered for use on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. Its screw machine length profile — shorter than a jobber bit — provides added rigidity and reduced deflection, making it well suited for drill press work, turret lathes, screw machines, and CNC applications where close-tolerance hole location matters. The regular spiral flute and parallel web configuration support consistent chip flow in moderate-depth holes. General purpose grade construction covers a broad range of production and repair drilling tasks without requiring specialty coatings or coolant-through capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches) diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and cleaner entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body (2-11\/16 inches overall) provides rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — ISO standard compliant, right-hand cut, 2-flute spiral design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general purpose replacement or production drill bit for use in standard drill chucks, drill presses, turret lathes, and screw machines accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the shank fully into the drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life, particularly when drilling steel. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use — a dull bit increases thrust load and can cause workpiece damage or bit breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches)\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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: Bright\/Uncoated\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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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, Non-Ferrous Metal, Steel\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: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0357 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: 48518\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732896874802,"sku":"48518","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e83a47cb013b7fbe6549405ec13a080c.jpg?v=1788748320","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48518-screw-machine-drill-bit-9-32-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
