Manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide coating for mild lubricity and surface protection, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point, a 2-flute spiral configuration, and a straight cylindrical shank. The overall length is 1.375 inches, making it well suited to drill press, CNC, or hand-tool use in tight fixtures. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials where a small-diameter, short-length drill is required. The screw machine length profile reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits at this diameter, improving hole location accuracy. It is commonly used in production environments, machine shops, and maintenance facilities where precise small-hole drilling is routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 57, 0.0430 inch decimal equivalent for precise small-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides good hardness and wear resistance across general-purpose applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and surface lubricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 1.375 inches overall reduces deflection and improves rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute spiral design for standard chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\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 conforming to ANSI specification, compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank in this diameter range (0.0000 to 0.1000 inches).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck or collet before operation to prevent runout. At this diameter, use low feed pressure and appropriate cutting fluid to minimize breakage risk. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0430 inches\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\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 61699484\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909977276722,"sku":"61699484","price":42.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/18dbef8fddc6ba428643630ac34a9a3a.jpg?v=1791194386","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61699484-screw-machine-drill-bit-size-57-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
