Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length drills, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection in production and close-tolerance work. The 135-degree point geometry self-centers on most surfaces and eliminates the need for a center punch in many setups. Two slow-spiral flutes control chip evacuation in the tough, stringy, or abrasive materials this bit is designed for. The bright, uncoated finish is common on carbide tooling where coating adhesion is unnecessary or where the base substrate performs adequately on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for machining cast iron, nickel alloys, stainless steel, titanium alloys, and tool steel — materials that demand the hardness and wear resistance of solid carbide. Typical applications include production drilling on CNC machining centers, manual mills, and drill presses where stub-length tooling is preferred for stability. It is well suited to machine shops, maintenance shops, and industrial environments where hard or abrasive workpieces are standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance in abrasive and high-strength materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point tip reduces walking and decreases thrust force at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlow-spiral flute geometry optimized for chip control in cast iron, stainless steel, nickel alloy, titanium alloy, and tool steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length provides increased rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber-length drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish; no coolant-through capability — suited for conventional cutting fluid application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.3000 to 0.3500 inch decimal inch range.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before cutting, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to lateral shock loads. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant directed at the cutting zone, and avoid interrupted cuts or excessive feed rates that can chip the carbide substrate.\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: S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3480 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 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: 0.13 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: 16704470\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732149829938,"sku":"16704470","price":89.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/92aa56ddd1fade635f905a46152e1e14.jpg?v=1788739765","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-16704470-screw-machine-drill-bit-letter-s-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
