Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance environments. The bit measures 0.1695 inches in diameter, corresponding to wire size 18, with a standard 118-degree point angle that suits a wide range of materials. At 2.125 inches overall length with a 1.0625-inch spiral flute, it fits most screw machine and drill press setups. Right-hand cut with a straight-cylindrical shank, it seats securely in standard chucks. Installation is handled by machinists, tool-and-die trades, and maintenance mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for screw machine applications, production drilling, and general shop use where a shorter overall length is preferred over jobber-length bits. The reduced length improves rigidity and minimizes deflection in tight setups or when drilling through metal stock. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC screw machines, and hand-held power drills where a straight-cylindrical shank chuck is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body at 2.125 inches overall for improved rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral and 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI specification designation for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard straight-cylindrical shank drill chucks across drill presses, screw machines, and hand-held power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by machinists and maintenance mechanics using standard drill chucks or collet holders. Always ensure the machine is powered off and the spindle is fully stopped before changing bits. Secure the shank fully in the chuck to prevent slippage during operation.
