Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.040 inches in diameter (Wire Size 60) and features a 118-degree standard point angle with a web-thinned tip for easier penetration and reduced thrust. The right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently during operation. Overall length is 1-3\/8 inches with a 1\/2-inch flute length, making it suited for screw machine, turret lathe, and drill press setups where short, rigid tooling is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for general purpose metal drilling in production and repair environments. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks, collets, and quick-change toolholders. Typical users include machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with metal fabrication equipment or performing precision hole operations in small-diameter applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire Size 60 diameter (0.040 inches) with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (1-3\/8 inches overall) provides rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general purpose drilling without specialized coating needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral and parallel web for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill bit for screw machine, turret lathe, and drill press applications drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metal, and steel workpieces.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and secured before inserting or removing the bit. For small-diameter bits like Wire Size 60, use appropriate chuck jaws rated for the diameter range to prevent slippage. Do not force the bit through hardened or abrasive materials beyond the rated workpiece material specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.040 inches (Wire Size 60)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\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\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 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: 48760\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754646176050,"sku":"48760","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6f50878be5086fd841553c1fe306e30a.jpg?v=1788947393","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-48760-screw-machine-drill-bit-wire-60","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
