Ground from high speed steel with a coated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at the start of the cut. The bit measures 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 6.125 inches, providing extra reach compared to jobber-length bits without sacrificing rigidity. Right-hand spiral flutes carry chips out of the hole efficiently during continuous drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron, making it a practical choice for HVAC equipment fabrication, pipe fitting shops, electrical panel work, and general mechanical maintenance. The taper length format is commonly selected when standard jobber bits are too short for the application but extended-length bits introduce too much deflection. It fits any 15\/64 inch straight-shank chuck on standard drill presses, hand drills, and mill spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches) diameter with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish for improved surface hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body at 6.125 inches overall with a 3.75-inch flute length for extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flutes with no coolant-through requirement\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 alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron workpieces.

Use cutting fluid or a suitable lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use; a dull or damaged drill bit increases thrust requirements and can fracture. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-guarding requirements for rotating tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2344 inches (5.95 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches (60.32 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\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\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 -0.0007 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: 0.0567 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: 49715\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753201566002,"sku":"49715","price":20.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0761f508a23fcc9547d46a61baebaf8f.jpg?v=1788933817","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-49715-taper-length-drill-bit-15-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
