It features a 7\/8 inch cutting diameter with a reduced 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to fit standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks without requiring a larger chuck capacity. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for basic corrosion resistance. Overall length is 6 inches with a 3 inch flute length and a 118-degree standard point angle. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling in low and medium tensile strength materials including mild steel, aluminum, plastics, and similar workpiece materials. The reduced shank design makes it particularly useful when a large-diameter hole is needed but only a 1\/2 inch chuck is available, a common situation on portable drill presses, hand drills, and light-duty drill presses found in maintenance and production environments. The 3 inch maximum drilling depth accommodates most standard thickness stock and structural members encountered in field and shop applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch cutting diameter with reduced 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and toughness for ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides basic surface protection against corrosion during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 inch overall length with 3 inch flute length supports drilling to 3 inches maximum depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch capacity drill chucks on portable drills, drill presses, and similar drilling equipment.

Always power down and de-energize or unplug the drilling equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate workholding to secure the workpiece and prevent rotation during drilling. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn in accordance with applicable shop safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.8750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\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\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low and Medium Tensile Strength Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Required\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.565 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02387868\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748697538866,"sku":"02387868","price":56.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/624adf105557f29989b033230e10c43c.jpg?v=1788896919","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-02387868-reduced-shank-drill-bit-7-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
