Hertel 71205850 Jobber Drill Bit 13/32 Inch Hss Oxide

Product Description

The HERTEL 71205850 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, it delivers consistent performance across a wide range of materials encountered in trade and industrial applications. The bit measures 13/32 inch (0.4062 inch decimal) in diameter with a 5-1/4 inch overall length and a 3-7/8 inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle is suited for drilling into mild steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. A tapered web with web thinning reduces thrust and helps the bit start cleanly without a center punch on most metals.

This drill bit is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, pipefitters, and general maintenance trades where field drilling of sheet metal, conduit, pipe flanges, brackets, and structural members is required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw keyed and keyless drill chucks. Its jobber-length proportions make it compatible with bench drill presses, hand drills, and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in tight mechanical rooms and panel enclosures.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated during metal drilling
• Oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use on mild steel and non-ferrous metals
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand spiral flute pulls chips up and out of the hole during drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit fitting any standard three-jaw drill chuck that accepts a 13/32 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using a hand drill, drill press, or right-angle drill. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard metals to extend bit life. Power down or de-energize any equipment being drilled into before starting work, in accordance with applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
