Built from high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, it measures 0.157 inches in diameter (wire size #22) with a 118-degree standard point angle. The shorter screw machine length body — 2.125 inches overall — improves rigidity and reduces deflection in applications where stub-length reach is preferred. The two-flute spiral design with web thinning promotes efficient chip evacuation and cleaner hole entry. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and general fabrication trades use this bit in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 48722 is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel in production and job-shop settings. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. The screw machine length profile makes it a practical choice for setups requiring maximum tool rigidity and minimal runout, including work in tight fixtures or shallow-depth applications where a standard-length bit would introduce excess flex. It conforms to ISO standards and carries a general-purpose grade designation appropriate for a broad range of metalworking tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose hole starting without a center punch in most setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned point reduces thrust load and improves penetration on harder materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length of 2.125 inches overall for improved rigidity over standard-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish with right-hand spiral flute for straightforward chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches ensures consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks; suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel across general-purpose metalworking applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trained trade professionals familiar with metalworking equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm chuck engagement on the straight shank before applying power. Operate at feed rates and spindle speeds appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid premature tool wear or breakage. Ensure cutting fluid or coolant is applied where material hardness or sustained drilling cycles require it, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.157 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: #22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0625 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0096 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: 48722\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744566837554,"sku":"48722","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9d6a9e64faf61b6b256f11d844c31ed0.jpg?v=1788858297","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48722-screw-machine-drill-bit-0-157-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
