Hertel 71206262 Jobber Drill Bit No. 9 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The HERTEL 71206262 is a jobber-length twist drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 9, with a decimal diameter of 0.1960 inches. It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that improves surface hardness and provides basic lubricity during cutting. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. Overall length is 3-5/8 inches, with a flute length of 2-7/16 inches. This is a general-purpose drill bit suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople who need a reliable wire-gauge bit for repetitive hole-making in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of shop and field applications, including metal fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and light industrial work. The 0.1960-inch diameter falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range, making it a go-to size for tapping pilot holes, clearance holes, and precision drilling tasks where wire-gauge sizing is specified. It is sold individually per package unit and is well suited for tool crib stocking or job-site kits where wire-gauge drill bits are consumed at volume.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 9 sizing at 0.1960 inches decimal diameter
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in metal drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and extends tool life in general-purpose applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile use across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand regular spiral flute with 2-7/16-inch flute length for effective chip clearing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or milling machine equipped with a chuck accepting a 0.1960-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a compatible chuck and tighten securely with a chuck key before operation. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent movement during drilling. Inspect the cutting edges and point before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
