It is ground to Wire Size 53, with a decimal diameter of 0.0595 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where a standard fractional bit is too large. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend tool life in moderate-duty applications. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades use this bit in drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit fits applications requiring a No. 53 wire gauge hole, commonly used for tapping operations, through-hole drilling in sheet metal, and precision pilot holes in light fabrication work. The 0.0595-inch diameter falls within the 0.0500 to 0.1000-inch drill bit size range, placing it at the smaller end of the wire gauge spectrum. It is packaged as a single bit and is well suited for shop environments that stock individual sizes by wire gauge number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire Size 53 with a decimal diameter of 0.0595 inches for close-tolerance drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction and improved wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for easier penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute geometry suitable for general-purpose metalworking and maintenance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0595-inch straight shank across drill presses, CNC drilling equipment, and handheld power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and replaced by machinists, tool and die technicians, and general maintenance trades. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify concentricity to avoid deflection at this small diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal drilling to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate or spindle speed for the workpiece material, as small-diameter high speed steel bits are susceptible to breakage under side load or excessive feed pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0595 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0595 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0500 to 0.1000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71206700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749370102066,"sku":"71206700","price":26.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50bf342f3030855552b986b3c2e4e3ab.jpg?v=1788905143","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-71206700-jobber-drill-bit-wire-53-hss-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
