Hertel 16691701 Jobber Drill 3/32 Inch Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The HERTEL 16691701 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating and a 118-degree standard point angle. Designed for right-hand cutting, it features a regular spiral flute geometry with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced thrust and improved chip evacuation. The bit measures 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch) in diameter with a 1-inch flute length and a 2-inch overall length. At material grade C2, this drill is built for general-purpose drilling where dimensional accuracy and tool life in harder materials are the priority.

This drill bit is suited for drilling steel and stainless steel in production and maintenance environments. The straight cylindrical shank and compact 2-inch overall length make it compatible with standard drill chucks across a range of bench, hand, and machine drill setups. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with tight-tolerance small-diameter holes. The Series 450 designation indicates HERTEL general-purpose solid carbide jobber geometry. Coolant-through capability is not supported in this model.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with C2 material grade for durability in steel and stainless steel
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in general-purpose drilling applications
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Regular spiral flute design promotes consistent chip evacuation in through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without requiring special toolholders
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inch ensures consistent hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide jobber drill suitable for use in standard drill chucks and machine tool spindles accepting a 3/32-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and stainless steel per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Carbide is brittle — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper setup, and excessive feed rates that can cause chipping or breakage. Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before cutting. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drill equipment.
