It is built from cobalt high-speed steel (HSCO), which provides greater heat resistance than standard HSS, making it well-suited for drilling harder ferrous metals, stainless steel, and abrasive alloys. The 135-degree split point reduces thrust requirements and starts drilling without a center punch. At 2-3\/8 inches overall length, this stub-length geometry provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in production drilling scenarios. It is sold individually as a single-piece unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is used in screw machine operations, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills where a shorter, stiffer bit is preferred. The size 6 wire gauge designation corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.2040 inches, placing it in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch range. It is appropriate for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians drilling carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and similar hard materials. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry are compatible with standard drill press and CNC spindle setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS (HSCO) construction for improved heat and wear resistance in hard-metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers feed force required at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web configuration improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub screw machine length (2-3\/8 inches OAL) provides rigidity and reduces bit deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute, 2-flute design for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard production drill bit for use in screw machines, drill presses, and CNC machining setups requiring a wire-gauge stub-length cobalt drill in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch decimal diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall into a properly sized drill chuck or collet and verify shank seating before operation. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before drilling to prevent movement and bit breakage. Use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life, particularly when drilling stainless or alloy steels. Replace the bit if significant edge wear or chipping is observed, as a dull cobalt bit generates excess heat that can work-harden the material surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2000 to 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel (HSCO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HSCO135\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 74130576\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737749913906,"sku":"74130576","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33bc98c36dbba71650a18a77c32bc016.jpg?v=1788793137","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-74130576-screw-machine-drill-bit-size-6-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
