Built from high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit features a 0.1800-inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The shorter-than-jobber screw machine length provides added rigidity, reducing deflection in drill press and CNC turret operations. Web thinning improves penetration on harder materials and reduces thrust load at the cutting edge. Licensed trades and machining professionals working with cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel will find this a reliable daily-use tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48715 fits general metalworking environments including machine shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and light manufacturing. Its straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. The 2-3\/16-inch overall length and 1-1\/8-inch flute length are optimized for use in screw machine and turret setups where stub-length rigidity matters. It is categorized within the Series 157 line, covering the 0.1500 to 0.2000-inch diameter range, and corresponds to wire gauge size number 15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1800-inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry force\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 length body adds rigidity and minimizes deflection versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications without added coating cost\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 for use with standard drill chucks and turret lathe setups where a straight cylindrical shank and 0.1800-inch diameter are specified.
