Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit features a 0.196 inch diameter, a standard 118-degree point angle, and a 2-flute spiral flute design with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. The screw machine length format provides a shorter, more rigid profile compared to jobber-length bits, making it well-suited for confined spaces and precise, controlled drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for right-hand cutting in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. The shorter overall length of 2-1\/4 inches and a flute length of 1-3\/16 inches give it added rigidity, which reduces deflection on short-hole operations. It is a common choice for machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians who need accurate, repeatable holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metal components. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose metal drilling durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.196 inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length profile adds rigidity and minimizes deflection in short-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParallel web configuration with regular spiral flute for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel.

Power down and de-energize any machinery before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend bit life, even though this bit does not feature a coolant-through design. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.196 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1875 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\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\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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0152 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: 48709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734408659250,"sku":"48709","price":41.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eb079e94e4c189c51cf420c9cfec7688.jpg?v=1788762939","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48709-screw-machine-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
