Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit delivers consistent performance in short-coupled drilling applications where stub length rigidity matters. The 118-degree point angle is the standard geometry for most production drilling work. With a 0.397-inch diameter and a straight-cylindrical shank, it seats securely in standard drill chucks and quick-change holders. At 3-5\/16 inches overall length with a 1-15\/16-inch flute length, this bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC mills, and hand-held power drills where a shorter tool length reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized to Letter X, placing it in the 0.3500- to 0.4000-inch decimal inch range. Screw machine length bits are commonly used in machining, fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments where shorter tool reach is preferred over jobber length. The right-hand spiral flute design efficiently evacuates chips during drilling. This size is frequently used when drilling clearance or tap-relief holes in steel plate, aluminum extrusions, and structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter X size: 0.397 inches diameter for precise decimal-inch fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body reduces deflection compared to jobber length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 2-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and quick-change systems\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 and quick-change tool holders accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 0.397-inch diameter class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and replaced by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using standard drill chuck keys or quick-change systems. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is properly fixtured or clamped. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous materials to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is evident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3970 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\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\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\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\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: 61699567\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740394389810,"sku":"61699567","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6903c59d6a23e380bdcd99dc7e8deb1e.jpg?v=1788824721","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61699567-screw-machine-drill-bit-letter-x-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
