Hertel 83245928 Solid Carbide Spade Drill Bit 1/2 in

Product Description

The HERTEL 83245928 is a solid carbide spade drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in hard steel and high-strength materials. It features an uncoated bright finish and a 118-degree drill point angle optimized for clean entry into ferrous and high-hardness workpieces. At 3 inches overall length with a 1-5/16 inch flute length, this bit suits precision drilling applications where carbide rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical. The tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches supports close-tolerance hole production without secondary reaming in many applications. Weighing approximately 0.1 pounds, it is suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and production environments where consistent hole geometry is required.

This drill bit is intended for right-hand cutting in hard steel and high-strength materials encountered in metalworking, toolroom, and production machining settings. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed when working with materials that would rapidly dull high-speed steel tooling. A 20-degree body included angle and 0.06-inch web thickness contribute to stable cutting geometry at depth. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and production shops handling hard or abrasion-resistant alloys are the primary users of this tooling.

• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle operation on CNC and manual equipment
• 0.06-inch web thickness and 20-degree body included angle for stable cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a solid carbide spade drill bit for use in hard steel and high-strength materials. Compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting 1/2-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine fully powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maximize tool life. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and susceptible to damage from lateral loading or interrupted cuts without proper setup.
