Built from C2-grade solid carbide with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers the rigidity needed to maintain accuracy in demanding applications. The 140-degree notched point and web-thinned geometry reduce entry thrust, improve centering, and extend tool life in production environments. Right-hand cutting direction and a two-flute configuration make this a standard selection for machinists and toolroom technicians working with tight-tolerance hole requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys where carbide tooling is required to maintain dimensional control. Primary workpiece materials include chrome alloy, heat-treated alloy, nickel alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, and titanium alloy. It fits conventional drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes with appropriate collet or chuck holders accepting a 0.1405-inch shank. Typical applications include aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing where hole tolerance and material hardness demand carbide over high-speed steel tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC2-grade solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in alloy and stainless steel drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree notched point reduces thrust and improves self-centering on hard workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned geometry lowers cutting forces at entry and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for tight-tolerance hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, two-flute straight-flute design compatible with standard drill press and CNC setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual machine tools that accept a straight-shank carbide drill bit with a 0.1405-inch shank diameter.

Secure the shank fully in a collet or chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation, and verify runout before cutting. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper setup, or drop impacts that can chip the cutting edges. Always follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when operating drilling equipment.\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: No. 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1405 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1405 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Notched\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Grade C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome Alloy, Heat-Treated Alloy, Nickel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Steel, Titanium Alloy\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: 83246397\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728515727666,"sku":"83246397","price":34.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2bb8b123f4069ccaf24793e547d5515.jpg?v=1788692535","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-83246397-straight-flute-drill-bit-no-28-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
