The bit measures 0.0670 inches in diameter, corresponding to Wire Gauge #51, and is manufactured from high speed steel with a coated finish for improved wear resistance. The 118-degree standard point angle is a versatile geometry suited to a wide range of materials. The spiral flute configuration and web-thinned, tapered web design promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce entry resistance. Cutting direction is right-hand. This bit is sold individually and is typically purchased by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople working on precise small-diameter hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 50341 fits into production and maintenance drilling operations involving alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron workpieces. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to jobber-length bits of the same diameter, making it well suited to deeper hole applications where a standard-length bit would fall short. The straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet-style toolholding found on drill presses, lathes, and hand-held power drills. Series 120 construction reflects a general-purpose grade intended for everyday shop and field use rather than specialized high-production tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire Gauge #51 diameter: 0.0670 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for enhanced wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral flute, web-thinned tapered web for efficient chip removal and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length body at 3.75 inches overall with a 2-inch flute length for extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, straight shank — fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron applications.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking or bit deflection at this diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage if run at incorrect feeds or speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: #51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0670 inches\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: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0670 inches\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 50341\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732493467954,"sku":"50341","price":93.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3b047b4c110ed53a6d8d8b63a80b695e.jpg?v=1788743551","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-50341-taper-length-drill-bit-0-0670-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
