Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish for improved wear resistance, this bit measures 0.0310 inches in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 3\/4-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce entry force and improve centering accuracy. The straight shank at 0.0310 inches in diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks, making this bit a reliable choice for production shops and tool-room setups that require consistent results in small-bore work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in both light manufacturing and maintenance environments. Series 120 taper length geometry provides a longer flute and overall length than jobber bits, giving better reach in deeper setups or fixture work. Right-hand spiral flute cutting clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance mechanics working with drill presses, CNC machines, or hand-held equipment will find this bit appropriate for general-purpose small-diameter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish extends cutting life and reduces friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearing\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 as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, CNC drilling setups, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting a 1\/32-inch straight shank.

Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Use recommended spindle speeds for the 0.0310-inch diameter to avoid overheating and premature wear. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches (1\/32 inches, Wire Size 68)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (3\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches (1\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\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: 0.1 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: 50358\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730010145074,"sku":"50358","price":98.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/37339845a6d0963fa2555750ceef687f.jpg?v=1788710133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-50358-taper-length-drill-bit-0-0310-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
