Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. At 19\/32 inch (0.5938 inches) in diameter, it belongs to the Series 157 lineup and is manufactured to ISO standards. The web-thinned, parallel web configuration reduces thrust during entry and helps maintain accurate hole geometry. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrew machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection in tight-clearance setups such as drill presses, turret lathes, and CNC machining centers. This bit is rated for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. Its reduced overall length makes it well suited for production environments where chatter and bit wander are common concerns on larger-diameter holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19\/32 inch (0.5938 inches) diameter with a tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with a coated finish for extended service life on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length increases rigidity and minimizes deflection compared to jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute regular spiral configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in drill presses, turret lathes, and CNC machining centers with standard chuck or collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 19\/32 inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation, and confirm the spindle is completely stopped before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support through-tool coolant. Eye protection and chip guards are standard safety requirements per shop safety codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19\/32 inch (0.5938 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/8 inches\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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, Web-Thinned\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\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: 0.251 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 48538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744809320754,"sku":"48538","price":50.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a5b4c6dbff7cb9d06e892689b248102f.jpg?v=1788860753","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48538-screw-machine-drill-bit-19-32-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
