Cobalt construction provides heat resistance for drilling through harder steels, stainless, and high-alloy materials where standard high-speed steel bits work-harden or wear prematurely. The split point geometry reduces walking on entry, eliminating the need for a center punch on most flat surfaces. At 3.0 inches overall length, this stub-length format offers greater rigidity than jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in tight-clearance or high-feed applications. Intended for use by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians on manual or CNC drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for production drilling in metalworking environments where hole accuracy and tool life are priorities. Screw machine length drill bits are commonly used in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers where stub-length rigidity is required. Typical applications include drilling bolt clearance holes, tapping preparation, and reaming pre-holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute are standard for conventional drilling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter R size  -  0.3390 inches decimal equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces entry walking and lowers thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt (HSCo) construction for heat resistance in hard and abrasive metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 3.0 inches OAL for increased rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web for improved chip clearance and cutting efficiency\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  -  compatible with conventional drilling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard screw machine length drill bit for use in drill presses, machining centers, lathes, and hand-held power drills equipped with a chuck sized for a straight cylindrical shank.
