The shortened flute length compared to a jobber-length bit provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection, making it well suited for production drilling and turret lathe applications. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point, two regular spiral flutes, and a straight cylindrical shank. Overall length is 3-9\/16 inches with a flute length of 2-1\/8 inches. It is a single-piece, individually packaged bit intended for use in standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrew machine length bits like the 61698916 are commonly used in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where shorter drill length improves rigidity and tool life. The 29\/64-inch diameter and right-hand cutting direction make this bit compatible with standard drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and hand-held power drills. The oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance for general-purpose ferrous material drilling. This bit is appropriate for machinists, toolroom technicians, and production floor operators working with steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e29\/64-inch diameter high-speed steel construction for durability in metal drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating provides mild lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body reduces deflection and improves rigidity versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks and toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length replacement or production drill bit conforming to ANSI specifications, suitable for use in drill presses, CNC turret lathes, milling machines, and hand-held power drills accepting a straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with drill press and lathe operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck to the full depth of the chuck jaws to prevent slippage under load. Do not exceed the rated speed range appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29\/64 inches (0.4531 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HSH118-OX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 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: 61698916\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729397088562,"sku":"61698916","price":22.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/466dfba558b308b9b4a90a6f7a4721b3.jpg?v=1788704135","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61698916-screw-machine-drill-bit-29-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
