Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit runs at standard cutting speeds across a range of workpiece materials. The drill diameter is 41\/64 inch (0.6406 inches) with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches, ensuring consistent hole sizing. The 118-degree standard point angle and 2-flute spiral design provide efficient chip evacuation and stable entry without walking. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance techs working with steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48541 is suited for drilling operations where a shorter flute length and reduced overall length improve rigidity and reduce deflection — characteristics that define screw machine length geometry. The overall length is 4-1\/2 inches with a flute length of 2-7\/8 inches. It fits standard drill chucks via its straight-cylindrical shank. This bit is appropriate for manual drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and handheld power drills where short-length bits are called for. Primary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e41\/64 inch (0.6406 inches) diameter with tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches for accurate hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for improved surface hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, parallel web configuration for reduced thrust and cleaner starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute regular spiral design promotes chip clearing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length geometry — shorter than jobber length — increases rigidity and reduces deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general-purpose drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces as specified by Series 157 screw machine length drill bit standards.
