Hertel 02387348 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 41 Hss Tin

Product Description

The HERTEL 02387348 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed, high-accuracy drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and production environments. Built from high-speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers extended tool life and reduced friction at the cutting edge. The bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust, along with a web-thinned, parallel web configuration that improves chip evacuation. At 1-13/16 inches overall length, this stub-length geometry provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well-suited for CNC machines, drill presses, and screw machines. Straight-cylindrical shank diameter matches the 0.096 inch drill diameter for direct chuck mounting.

This drill bit is sized for wire gauge No. 41, with a decimal equivalent of 0.096 inch. It is intended for use in production drilling applications involving ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials where a short, rigid drill is required. The screw machine length format is common in automated and semi-automated drilling setups where spindle clearance is limited and hole-location accuracy is critical. Licensed machinists and tooling technicians are the primary installers and operators of this type of cutting tool.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction with TiN coating for extended wear resistance
• 135-degree split point for self-centering, reduced-thrust entry
• Web-thinned parallel web improves chip flow and reduces cutting force
• Screw machine (stub) length at 1-13/16 inches overall for maximum rigidity
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix angle
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.096 inch for standard chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit screw machine length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw chucks, collets, and drill heads accepting a 0.096 inch straight shank. Suitable for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and automatic screw machines configured for wire gauge No. 41 tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutting tool should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with proper chuck torque and runout requirements. Inspect the shank and flutes for damage before seating in the chuck. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped before tool changes. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed rates appropriate to the workpiece material and drill diameter.
