At 0.089 inches (wire size 43) in diameter, this bit features a standard 118-degree point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. The shortened screw machine length body provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in close-tolerance drilling work. The bright uncoated HSS construction suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades reach for this bit when precision hole placement and runout control matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel in machine shop, production, and maintenance environments. The screw machine length format is a common choice for drill press and lathe work where tool overhang must be minimized. The parallel web configuration and web-thinned geometry help reduce thrust force at entry, making it practical for accurate hole starts in metal plate, structural stock, and machined components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 43 (0.089 inches) diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body for increased rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web geometry reduces entry thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute spiral design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated HSS construction compatible with cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals\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 rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, and steel workpieces.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify concentricity to minimize runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Follow all machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when operating drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.089 inches (Wire Size 43)\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: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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\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\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\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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 -0.0005 inches\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\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0029 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: 48743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727327756594,"sku":"48743","price":33.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4128b085ea18a244f97705287088b6b5.jpg?v=1788676362","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48743-screw-machine-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
