Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it is engineered for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The standard 118-degree split point geometry with web thinning reduces walking and lowers the thrust required to start the cut. At 0.75 inches overall length, this is a compact bit suited for precision work in tight clearances. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. The 2-flute spiral configuration with a regular spiral type and tapered web provides efficient chip evacuation in short-depth holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for production and maintenance drilling tasks where a wire-gauge size in the sub-0.02-inch range is required. Typical applications include tapping prep work, instrument panel drilling, electronics assembly, and HVAC component fabrication where small fastener clearance holes are needed. The general-purpose grade makes it a cost-effective option for shops and field technicians who need consistent small-diameter performance without specialty tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 79, 0.0145 inches decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish with regular spiral flute for chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.75-inch overall length suited for confined-space drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0145-inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove this bit with the drill or press powered down and the chuck key fully disengaged before operation. Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. High speed steel bits are susceptible to heat damage at excessive feed rates — use cutting fluid or reduce feed when drilling hard metals. Consult applicable shop safety standards and tool manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed recommendations by material type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0145 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\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0145 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.024 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: 84578343\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754797170994,"sku":"84578343","price":105.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/930cbf8848181cbda42517547f406436.jpg?v=1788948733","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-84578343-jobber-drill-bit-wire-79-hss-118","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
