Hertel 71206627 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 45 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The HERTEL 71206627 is a jobber length drill bit sized to wire gauge 45, with a decimal diameter of 0.0820 inches. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of materials and is compatible with conventional drill press and handheld drill setups. With a straight-cylindrical shank and regular spiral flute geometry, this bit seats reliably in standard chucks. The two-flute, right-hand cut configuration with a web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation in small-diameter holes.

This bit fits general-purpose drilling applications across manufacturing, maintenance, fabrication, and field service environments. The wire size 45 designation makes it a common choice when close-tolerance hole sizing is required for tapping, reaming prep, or precision fastener clearance work. At 2.125 inches overall length with a 1.125-inch flute length, it is suited for shallow-to-moderate depth holes in light- to medium-duty materials. Machinists, millwrights, and general tradespeople regularly reach for this size in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• Wire size 45 with 0.0820-inch decimal diameter for close-tolerance drilling
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and use
• 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and wood
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces axial thrust on entry, improving control in small-diameter bores
• Right-hand cut, two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and handheld power drills equipped with chucks sized to accept a 0.0820-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill press or hand drill chuck and confirm the shank is fully seated and tightened before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. At small diameters, apply light, steady feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage.
