Built from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with an oxide straw finish, it delivers heat resistance and wear life beyond standard HSS tooling. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and thrust at entry, making it well suited for harder substrates. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 2.375-inch spiral flute, this stub-length geometry provides rigidity in applications where standard-length bits would deflect or chatter. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically reach for cobalt stub drills when production drilling demands consistent hole quality in demanding alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is engineered for use on hardened materials, heat-treatable alloyed steels, stainless steel, and titanium alloy. The screw machine length body fits standard drill chucks and CNC turret setups where a shorter, stiffer bit reduces runout. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio keeps chip evacuation manageable in interrupted or deep-entry passes. It is a single-piece package intended for individual replacement in tool cribs or service kits where one size is needed without committing to a full set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and prevents walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide straw finish resists built-up edge and aids lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 3.875 inches overall for maximum rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute geometry with 2.375-inch flute length for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through configuration — suited for external flood coolant or cutting oil application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrimary workpiece materials listed by the manufacturer include hardened materials, heat-treatable alloyed steels, stainless steel, and titanium alloy.

Secure the bit fully in the holder before operation and verify runout before beginning a production run. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or flood coolant for the workpiece material to manage heat buildup. Inspect the split point and cutting edges for wear before each use, as cobalt tooling subjected to excessive heat can micro-fracture if re-run without inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inch (0.5313 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M35)\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches (2-3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.875 inches (3-7\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Materials, Heat-Treatable Alloyed Steels, Stainless Steel, Titanium Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 42226\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748801216818,"sku":"42226","price":54.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6fd3ebf5d5a3b4916183d74c3da7bed6.jpg?v=1788898598","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-42226-cobalt-screw-machine-drill-bit-17-32-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
