Built from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a straw oxide finish, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when drilling through demanding materials. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and requires less thrust to start a hole, making it well suited for production drilling environments. At 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.875 inch flute length, this stub-length geometry provides rigid, chatter-resistant performance in drill presses, CNC machines, and turret lathes. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical tradespeople keep cobalt stub drills on hand for stainless steel fastener holes and hard material access work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling hardened materials, heat-treatable alloy steels, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. The short overall length makes it a practical choice for screw machine operations and lathe work where standard-length bits would flex or deflect. It is also used in general fabrication and service applications where a rigid, high-heat-tolerant bit is required to drill through tough base metals without premature dulling or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt steel construction resists heat buildup during high-speed drilling in alloy and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on flat stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw oxide coating provides light lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length gives rigid, low-deflection performance in power feed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently in through-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks and collet holders without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for 1\/8 inch screw machine length drill bits in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch decimal size range.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent deflection or bit breakage. Use cutting fluid or paste lubricant on stainless and alloy steels to dissipate heat and extend tool life. Inspect the split point for chipping before each use; a damaged point will walk and produce oversized holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M35 Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw Oxide\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: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Hardened Materials, Heat-Treatable Alloy Steels, Stainless Steel, Titanium Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HSCO135\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: 42180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728594895154,"sku":"42180","price":37.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/65345acb5c55cab6d1bc50e3f87a2999.jpg?v=1788693768","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-42180-1-8-inch-cobalt-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
