Hertel 30011600 Circuit Board Drill Bit Wire 32 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 30011600 is a solid carbide circuit board drill bit designed for precision drilling in printed circuit board fabrication and related tight-tolerance applications. It features a 118-degree point angle, a fast spiral flute configuration, and a bright polished finish. The bit measures 0.1160 inches (2.95 mm) in diameter with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches. The tapered web and 35-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and clean hole entry, making this bit well-suited for work where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This bit is intended for use in circuit board drilling operations where small-diameter, high-precision holes are required. Its solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for production environments drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel in addition to circuit board substrates. The right-hand cut geometry is compatible with standard CNC drilling machines and manual drill presses used in electronics manufacturing and precision machining shops. Technicians and machinists performing PCB prototyping or small-run production will find this a direct fit for standard circuit board drill setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance in precision drilling
• 118-degree point angle provides accurate centering and clean hole entry
• Fast spiral flute with 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip removal
• Tapered web configuration supports rigidity in small-diameter tooling
• Bright polished finish reduces friction and aids chip flow
• Right-hand cut geometry compatible with standard drill spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard circuit board drilling applications involving cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. Compatible with CNC drill presses and manual spindles accepting a 0.1160-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and operated by machinists or technicians using CNC or manual drill press equipment. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the bit diameter and workpiece material. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as solid carbide tooling can fracture if run at incorrect feeds and speeds or used on damaged setups. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures when handling small-diameter carbide tooling.
