The shortened screw machine length body provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits, reducing deflection and improving positional accuracy in production environments. The 135-degree split point geometry starts on contact without a center punch and helps minimize thrust force at entry. With a bright uncoated finish and a straight cylindrical shank, this bit is sized at wire gauge No. 38, equivalent to 0.1015 inches decimal, and measures 1-13\/16 inches overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for shops and field technicians working with cast iron, nickel alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and tool steel. The slow spiral flute geometry is intentionally selected for these hard and work-hardening materials, promoting chip evacuation without excessive heat buildup. The two-flute design with a right-hand cut is standard for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held pneumatic drills used in industrial maintenance and manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in difficult alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point starts on contact and reduces walking without a center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow spiral flute geometry optimized for cast iron, stainless steel, titanium alloy, and nickel alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating compatibility is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\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 applications requiring a No. 38 wire gauge size hole in hard ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of solid carbide tooling should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with cutting tool practices. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling to prevent movement that can chip the carbide cutting edge. Solid carbide is brittle relative to high-speed steel and is sensitive to side loading and interrupted cuts without proper fixturing. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\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: 16705055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755718050098,"sku":"16705055","price":19.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f27f32ba030a8bc717875837071cae37.jpg?v=1788958543","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-16705055-screw-machine-drill-bit-no-38-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
