Built from solid carbide in material grade C2 and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this bit delivers extended tool life and reduced cutting friction compared to standard high-speed steel alternatives. It measures 2-13\/16 inches overall length with a 5\/16 inch diameter and features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch. The parallel web configuration and slow spiral flute geometry are optimized for chip evacuation in tough workpiece materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling cast iron, nickel alloys, stainless steel, titanium alloys, and tool steel. Screw machine length geometry makes it well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and screw machines where a shorter, more rigid drill body is needed for precision hole-making in dense or work-hardening materials. The right-hand cut and straight-cylindrical shank allow direct chuck mounting without adapters. Maximum drilling depth is 2.75 inches, making it appropriate for through-holes and moderate blind-hole applications in production and maintenance settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction in material grade C2 for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends cutting tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning promotes self-centering and reduces thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral, parallel web flute geometry optimized for chip control in cast iron, stainless steel, and titanium alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body provides increased rigidity over jobber-length bits in short-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine drill bit for production and maintenance drilling applications in cast iron, nickel alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and tool steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians in drill chucks or collet holders on drill presses, mills, or CNC machining centers. Always ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing tooling. Verify chuck or collet bore matches the straight-cylindrical shank diameter before tightening. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material even though this bit does not feature through-coolant capability, as external coolant application extends tool life in stainless steel and titanium alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Nickel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Titanium Alloy, Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\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: 16692196\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730325471538,"sku":"16692196","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ebf4d538e5c817b570f846cf2f0a3f43.jpg?v=1788715405","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-16692196-screw-machine-drill-bit-5-16-in-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
