Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, this bit measures 45\/64 inch (0.7031 inch) in diameter with a 1\/2 inch Weldon flat shank. The overall length is 6 inches with a 3 inch spiral flute length, providing a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling applications. The three-flat Weldon shank provides positive torque transfer and resists bit slippage in compatible chucks and holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for metalworking operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The reduced shank design allows a larger-diameter bit to be used in a standard 1\/2 inch chuck or toolholder. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during drilling. Typical applications include drilling through mild steel, aluminum, brass, and other low to medium tensile strength materials where a standard jobber-length bit would be insufficient in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45\/64 inch (0.7031 inch) drill diameter with reduced 1\/2 inch Weldon flat shank for use in standard holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish for basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flat Weldon shank prevents bit rotation and slippage under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch Weldon-style toolholders and compatible drill chucks.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is disconnected before changing tooling. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in the toolholder set screw to prevent axial and rotational slippage. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45\/64 inch (0.7031 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat (3 flats)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low and Medium Tensile Strength Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.41 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: 77428712\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744051429682,"sku":"77428712","price":77.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b440f6e966e0ab7e1ed875d8008384a.jpg?v=1788853586","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-77428712-reduced-shank-drill-bit-45-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
