Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The screw machine length body  -  shorter than jobber length  -  provides added rigidity and reduced deflection in drill press and CNC applications. With a straight cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral fluting, it seats cleanly in standard chucks. The 3-inch overall length and 1-11\/16-inch flute length make it well suited to production environments where stub rigidity matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for general-purpose shop drilling in light manufacturing, maintenance, and production line applications. The screw machine format is commonly specified on drill presses, turret lathes, and machining centers where shorter tooling reduces chatter and improves hole accuracy. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports adequate chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth holes across a wide range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter Q size  -  0.3320 inches decimal equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry and centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide finish for lubricity and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (3-inch OAL) for increased rigidity over jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral fluting for conventional chip ejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\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 any drill press, lathe turret, or machining center chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 0.3320-inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should follow standard machining safety practices  -  secure the workpiece and confirm chuck grip before operation. Power down the machine and lock out energy before changing tooling. Drilling speeds should be selected based on workpiece material and bit diameter per standard machining reference tables. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; surface-applied cutting fluid is recommended when drilling ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Q\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3320 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 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: 61699435\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740910682418,"sku":"61699435","price":16.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a29ebe65e549ea39951d0b6566265b2d.jpg?v=1788828300","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61699435-screw-machine-drill-bit-letter-q-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
