Hertel 71205652 Jobber Drill Bit 3/32 Inch Hss Oxide

Product Description

The HERTEL 71205652 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added lubricity and corrosion resistance, it produces clean, accurate holes in a wide range of materials. The 3/32 inch diameter and 118-degree standard point angle make it a common choice for pilot holes, light metalwork, and precision drilling tasks where a compact, right-hand spiral flute bit is required. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks. Two spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during drilling operations.

This bit is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service applications. It handles light-duty drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The jobber-length format provides a balanced ratio of rigidity to reach, making it appropriate for benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where a standard-length bit is specified. General-purpose grade construction covers the broadest range of everyday drilling applications without requiring specialty tooling.

Key Features

• 3/32 inch diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for versatile general-purpose use
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during metal drilling
• Oxide coating improves surface lubricity and provides basic corrosion protection
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves penetration
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting a 3/32 inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify the bit runs true before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation. When drilling metal, use a center punch to prevent walking at the start point. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the material to avoid grabbing or bit damage.
