Built from cobalt tool steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it handles hard and abrasive materials where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. The 135-degree split point starts on contact without center-punching and reduces thrust. At 2-1\/16 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length, this stub-length geometry provides rigidity and reduces deflection in drill press and hand-drill applications. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1562 inches in diameter and seats in standard three-jaw chucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for production and job-site drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough alloys. Screw machine length bits are a standard choice when hole depth is shallow and maximum rigidity is required. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and industrial trades reach for stub-length cobalt bits when drilling through hardened or work-hardened surfaces where longer bits would flex or chatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt tool steel construction handles hard and abrasive metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point eliminates need for center punch and lowers drilling thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel-web design improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length body at 2-1\/16 inches overall reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently from the cutting zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine length drill bit for standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.1562-inch straight-cylindrical shank across bench drill presses, CNC drill stations, and portable drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify chuck key is removed before powering the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous or stainless alloys to preserve coating life and edge geometry. Cobalt bits are more brittle than standard HSS; avoid side-loading or prying during use. Inspect the split point for chipping between uses, particularly after drilling hardened material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.1562 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1562 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel, Web-Thinned\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: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: 66691270\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743975899442,"sku":"66691270","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/71b283d80a763ac2710c73228179b79a.jpg?v=1788852247","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-66691270-screw-machine-drill-bit-5-32-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
