Built to ANSI specifications, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration that promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling. At 11\/64 inch (0.1719 inch) in diameter, it suits tight-clearance drilling applications where a standard-length bit would be impractical. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure clamping in drill chucks and collets. Licensed trades and machinists working in production or maintenance environments reach for screw machine length bits when clearance is limited and rigidity is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills in both shop and field environments. The shorter overall length of 2-1\/8 inches compared to jobber-length bits reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy in metal fabrication, HVAC bracket work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel assembly tasks. The oxide finish provides a basic level of surface hardness and lubricity appropriate for general-purpose cutting without coolant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11\/64 inch (0.1719 inch) diameter — ANSI specification compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (2-1\/8 inch overall) reduces deflection in tight clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral, 2-flute design promotes chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish improves surface lubricity without coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock bit compatible with any drill press, hand-held power drill, or CNC spindle accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 11\/64 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drilling operations. Always ensure the drill chuck or collet is fully secured and the workpiece is clamped before engaging the spindle. Verify drill speed (RPM) is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter per standard machining references. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1719 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/16 inches\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\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: 61698668\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749796577586,"sku":"61698668","price":47.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b56cc5863b9c886d1ebd5af903dfaf70.jpg?v=1788910598","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61698668-screw-machine-drill-bit-11-64-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
