At 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches) in diameter, this Series 157 bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a bright\/uncoated finish, and a web-thinned parallel web for improved penetration and chip clearance. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard drill chucks. At 2-13\/16 inches overall length, the stub-length body delivers added rigidity over jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in tight spots. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and metalworking tradespeople use this bit for production drilling where hole accuracy and tool life are both priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48520 is suited for screw machine operations, CNC drilling fixtures, drill press work, and general-purpose metal fabrication. Its 1-5\/8 inch flute length handles typical through-hole and blind-hole depths in structural steel, cast iron housings, aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous stock. The right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently, making it a practical choice for repetitive hole cycles in manufacturing and maintenance environments. This bit ships individually and is ordered in multiples of six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches) diameter with a tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned parallel web for easier penetration and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish for use with standard cutting fluids or dry drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute regular spiral flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders that accept straight-cylindrical shanks.

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling production holes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Inspect the cutting edges for wear regularly and avoid forcing a dull bit, which can cause oversized holes or tool 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: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 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\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\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\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: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0443 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: 48520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733347565874,"sku":"48520","price":38.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/98111ec9626f886d72e4566926e272d6.jpg?v=1788754489","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48520-screw-machine-drill-bit-5-16-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
