Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length tools, which improves rigidity and reduces deflection in high-precision drilling applications. The 135-degree point angle self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on flat stock. Two slow-spiral flutes are designed to evacuate chips from hard, stringy, and abrasive materials. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. This bit is manufactured from solid carbide throughout, delivering the hardness and heat resistance required for demanding workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machine tools where close-tolerance hole production is required. The slow spiral flute design and solid carbide construction make it well suited for drilling cast iron, nickel alloys, stainless steel, titanium alloys, and tool steel. It is appropriate for production shops, maintenance machining, and toolroom applications where hole quality and tool life in hard materials are the primary concerns. The uncoated bright finish is typical for carbide tooling used across a range of cutting fluids and dry cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter J size (0.2770 inches) with 135-degree self-centering split point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in hard and stringy metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length OAL improves rigidity and minimizes deflection versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks and collet holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with a variety of cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement screw machine length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.25 to 0.30 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify that the chuck or collet is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to prevent runout. Carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads or impact; always use appropriate feeds and speeds for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2770 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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 2.6875 inches (2-11\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (1-1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eDrill Bit Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 to 0.3000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 16704371\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734976758066,"sku":"16704371","price":54.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fe2a7e31b6c3a2117e24b0b697fc5b08.jpg?v=1788768799","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-16704371-screw-machine-drill-bit-letter-j-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
