It features a 1\/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a coated finish to extend cutting life. The spiral flute geometry is regular, and the web is thinned with a tapered web configuration to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. Right-hand cutting direction and a straight shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is sized for precision work in tight tolerances, with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 49704 is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in fabrication, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. The 3-inch overall length and 1-3\/4 inch flute length give the bit enough reach for taper-length applications where a standard-length bit falls short. It is typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals working with drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power drills requiring a small-diameter, high-precision bit. The Series 120 designation identifies it within the CHICAGO-LATROBE general-purpose taper length line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated high speed steel construction for improved wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces drilling thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute promotes consistent chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for precision hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maximize bit life, particularly when drilling steel. Verify chuck jaw condition before use to ensure concentricity at this small diameter. Discard the bit if the cutting edges show chipping or if the shank shows signs of slippage damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches (1\/16 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches (1-3\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches (1\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches (1-1\/4 inch)\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: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron\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\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: 0.0026 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: 49704\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738691273010,"sku":"49704","price":76.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c263a4a777631ba100974b6192c7023b.jpg?v=1788802915","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-49704-taper-length-drill-bit-1-16-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
