Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 1-5\/8 inches overall length with a 5\/8 inch flute length. It carries a wire gauge size of 54, equivalent to 0.0550 inches in decimal, and features a standard 118-degree point angle with a right-hand cut. The straight-cylindrical shank ensures secure seating in standard drill chucks and machine spindles. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and production floor operators typically work with this type of bit for precision hole-making in metal, plastics, and composite materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in both manual and CNC machine tool applications. The screw machine length profile reduces overhang and deflection compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for close-tolerance work in tight spaces or multi-spindle setups. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip evacuation in shallow holes. The oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and mild corrosion resistance during use. It is appropriate for production environments, job shops, and maintenance operations requiring small-diameter precision drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 54 (0.0550 inches decimal) for small-diameter precision drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction suitable for general-purpose metal and plastic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for compatibility with a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating provides mild lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length at 1-5\/8 inches OAL reduces deflection and improves rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI specification designation confirms dimensional conformance\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 for use in standard drill chucks and machine spindles accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at the 0.0550 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with machine tool operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Verify chuck capacity accommodates the straight-cylindrical shank diameter before seating. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.\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: 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 61699732\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743388107058,"sku":"61699732","price":42.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9d9d26fb9e6cd0aef0eec2155ae1329e.jpg?v=1788846489","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-61699732-screw-machine-drill-bit-size-54-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
