Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, this bit measures 0.0469 inches (3\/64 inch) in diameter and delivers a 118-degree standard point angle for reliable hole-starting without a center punch in most applications. The tapered web configuration and web-thinned geometry reduce cutting resistance and help clear chips efficiently. Overall length is 2.25 inches with a straight shank, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. Right-hand spiral flutes handle chip evacuation in typical through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for light-duty production and maintenance drilling tasks encountered in HVAC fabrication, electrical rough-in, plumbing, and general metalworking. The 3\/64-inch diameter is commonly used for pilot holes, sheet metal, and small-diameter through-holes in thin stock. The coated HSS construction holds up to repeated use in general-purpose shop and field environments. Each unit is sold individually, though the minimum order quantity is 12 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/64 inch (0.0469 inches) diameter with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with straight shank for use in standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2.25 inches with a 1.125-inch shank length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks used in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment accepting a 0.0469-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall into a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace when the point shows signs of dulling or chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0469 inches (3\/64 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0469 inches (1.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches (28.57 mm)\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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: 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 49703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744893862194,"sku":"49703","price":80.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/605f65233edb5199ab559b5bc9c72876.jpg?v=1788861980","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-49703-3-64-in-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
