Hertel 71206791 Jobber Drill Bit 62 0.0380 in Hss Oxide

Product Description

The HERTEL 71206791 is a wire gauge size 62 jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The bit measures 0.0380 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches. Constructed from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it offers improved lubricity and basic heat resistance during drilling operations. The standard 118-degree point angle and spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice for everyday hole-making tasks. This bit is sold individually and is commonly purchased in trade quantities by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators.

This bit is suited for light-duty drilling applications where a small-diameter, short-length tool is needed. The wire gauge size 62 designation places it in the 0.0000 to 0.0500 inch decimal size range, making it appropriate for precision work such as pilot holes, tap drilling, and small-bore operations in production and maintenance environments. Its straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks and collets without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 62 at 0.0380 inches diameter for precision small-bore drilling
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for improved wear resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets
• General purpose grade suitable for metal, plastic, and similar workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets that accept a 0.0380-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of small-diameter drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press, CNC, or hand-drill operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit deflection or breakage at this diameter. Ensure the chuck or collet is clean and properly tightened before operation. Coolant through is not supported on this bit, so appropriate external lubrication or cutting fluid should be applied as needed for the workpiece material.
