It is manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide coating for improved lubricity and surface hardness during drilling operations. The bit features a standard 118-degree split point, two spiral flutes, and a straight cylindrical shank. Overall length is 2-1\/16 inches, making it shorter than jobber-length bits and well suited for use in tight clearances or screw machine and turret lathe setups. Right-hand cut direction. General-purpose grade per ANSI specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in applications where a shorter, stiffer bit length improves accuracy and reduces deflection. Typical use cases include production drilling on screw machines, CNC turret lathes, and drill presses where controlled hole depth and positional accuracy are priorities. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and 1-inch flute length support efficient chip evacuation at standard feed and speed rates for the material being drilled. Sold individually per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 23, decimal equivalent 0.154 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and aids chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length overall at 2-1\/16 inches for reduced deflection in close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI specification designation, right-hand cut, two spiral flutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 0.154 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a properly sized drill chuck or collet holder, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened securely before operation. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter to prevent premature wear or breakage.
