Hertel 83246082 Carbide Jobber Drill No. 65 0.0350 in

Product Description

The HERTEL 83246082 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for improved penetration and reduced thrust. At 0.0350 inches in diameter (No. 65 wire size), this bit is suited for precision small-hole drilling in tight-tolerance applications. The bright uncoated finish and C2 carbide grade make it a general-purpose choice where coating is not required. It runs a right-hand spiral flute and a straight cylindrical shank, fitting standard drill chucks without adapters. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians reach for this size when drilling small pilot holes, instrument panels, or circuit-board hardware.

This drill bit is designed for use in light-duty CNC drilling, drill press, and hand-drill applications. It is particularly well matched to aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials, where carbide substrate provides rigidity and edge retention that high-speed steel cannot match at this diameter. The 0.3750-inch flute length accommodates shallow-hole work, and the 1.125-inch overall length fits compact toolholders and small spindles commonly found in production and repair environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide C2 grade substrate for rigidity and edge retention in small-diameter drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• No. 65 wire size, 0.0350 inches diameter with a tight tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup at the cutting edge, suitable for general-purpose use
• Right-hand regular spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank at 0.0350 inches diameter fits standard collets and drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard drill chucks, collets, and toolholders accepting a 0.0350-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous materials per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Carbide is brittle at this diameter — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts, or excessive feed rates that can cause breakage. Secure the workpiece firmly and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drilling equipment.
