Wire size 37, this bit measures 0.1040 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1-13\/16 inches and a flute length of 13\/16 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle delivers fast, accurate starting without a center punch on most metals. The oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during use. With a straight-cylindrical shank and two regular spiral flutes, this bit seats securely in standard drill chucks and runs smoothly at typical feed and speed rates for its diameter class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrew machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, making them the preferred choice in tight clearance situations, turret lathes, CNC machining centers, and drill presses where reduced overhang improves rigidity and accuracy. The 61699385 is suited for production environments, maintenance shops, and trade professionals working on HVAC brackets, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general fabrication. Its general-purpose grade and ANSI-specification construction make it a reliable stock item for everyday drilling tasks where a standard jobber bit is too long or too flexible for the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 37 diameter  -  0.1040 inches for precision small-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for fast engagement on common metals and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (1-13\/16 inches OAL) for improved rigidity in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for general-purpose cutting across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and provides light surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes and straight-cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility\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 any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1040-inch diameter range, conforming to ANSI specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle with the shank fully seated in the chuck before tightening.
