Hertel 71206650 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 48 0.0760 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 71206650 is a wire gauge size 48 jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating, the bit measures 2 inches in overall length with a 1-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle and spiral flute geometry provide consistent chip evacuation and clean entry. A straight-cylindrical shank ensures secure seating in standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who require a reliable small-diameter drill for production or field work.

This bit is intended for general-purpose drilling applications where a wire gauge size 48 diameter, equivalent to 0.0760 inches, is specified. It is commonly used in light-duty metal fabrication, instrument work, and maintenance tasks requiring small-diameter holes. The right-hand spiral flute and tapered web configuration make it appropriate for use in benchtop drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld electric drills. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drilling equipment and applicable shop safety protocols. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the bit for chipping or wear before each use and replace if the cutting edges are damaged.
