Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length tools, which improves rigidity and reduces deflection in close-tolerance drilling operations. The 135-degree point self-centers on contact, minimizing the need for a center punch on flat or curved surfaces. With a slow-spiral flute geometry and a bright, uncoated finish, this bit is designed for cutting harder workpiece materials where heat management and edge retention are critical priorities. Licensed machinists and tool-room operators are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for production and maintenance machining in industrial and shop environments. Its primary workpiece materials include cast iron, nickel alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and tool steel. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks on CNC machining centers, manual drill presses, and lathes. The short overall length of 2.75 inches makes it well matched for turret-style tooling setups and applications where spindle clearance is limited. Right-hand cut geometry is compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional machine tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers high hardness and edge retention in difficult-to-machine alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point tip self-centers and reduces thrust force on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlow-spiral flute geometry improves chip control in materials that produce long, stringy chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating compatibility or post-process treatment is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body minimizes deflection and improves hole location accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw and collet-style drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch decimal inch size range.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before starting a cut. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling. Do not use this bit in hand-held portable drills, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to breakage under the lateral loading common in hand-held operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 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: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5625 inches\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\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 16704413\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755705925938,"sku":"16704413","price":63.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e210590c21110176144963ad11b42ab1.jpg?v=1788958382","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-16704413-drill-bit-letter-m-0-2950-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
