It features a 9\/16 inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an oxide coating for improved lubricity and surface protection. The shortened overall length of 4 inches makes it well suited for drilling in tight or restricted spaces where a jobber-length bit would be impractical. It is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals who work with drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit fits standard screw machine and drill press applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without modification. The regular right-hand spiral flute design provides consistent chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. It is well suited for repetitive production drilling where a compact, rigid bit is preferred over full jobber length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9\/16 inch diameter with 0.5625 decimal inch precision sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for metal and multi-material use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and improves tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length at 4 inches OAL for rigid, low-deflection performance in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute regular spiral design promotes clean chip removal\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 drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks.

Always secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm the bit is centered before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 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: 61699344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735233888562,"sku":"61699344","price":61.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6129955db53369fd4bf3a289beb153bf.jpg?v=1788770654","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61699344-screw-machine-drill-bit-9-16-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
