Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust needed to start a hole. The parabolic flute geometry promotes aggressive chip evacuation, making it well suited for deeper holes in tough materials. At 0.1540 inches in diameter (wire size 23) and 3.125 inches overall length, this is a heavy-duty, general-purpose bit for machinists, maintenance mechanics, and metalworking tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 69023 is sized for wire gauge 23 applications, covering a decimal diameter of 0.1540 inches. It fits standard drill chucks and accepts both benchtop drill presses and hand-held power drills. The straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.1540 inches ensures a positive grip in conventional three-jaw chucks. Primary workpiece material is steel alloy, though the HSS construction handles a range of ferrous metals encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where precise small-diameter holes are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and decreases feed pressure on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design promotes fast, efficient chip removal in deep-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection for wear or damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries 150DH heavy-duty grade with diameter tolerance of -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a jobber-length replacement drill bit for applications requiring wire gauge size 23 (0.1540 inches) with a straight cylindrical shank, compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop and handheld power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of drill bits should follow safe machine-tool practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck is tightened properly before starting the spindle. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and remove the bit from service if chipping, cracking, or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1540 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1540 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1250 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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel Alloy\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: 150DH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241634\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: 69023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755149197618,"sku":"69023","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/497ef8074ebb7dbb851e0fa1ca2e30c1.jpg?v=1788951560","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-69023-jobber-drill-bit-wire-23-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
