Hertel 84580976 No. 23 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 135 Deg

Product Description

The HERTEL 84580976 is a No. 23 wire size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose holemaking in metal, wood, and composite materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for improved wear resistance and reduced friction during drilling. The split point geometry at 135 degrees reduces walking on entry and lowers the thrust force needed to start a hole without a center punch. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 2-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is suited for bench drills, hand drills, and CNC drilling fixtures used in production or maintenance environments.

This jobber drill is used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, plumbing rough-in, HVAC sheet metal work, and electrical trade applications where a No. 23 wire gauge hole diameter of 0.1540 inches is required. The straight cylindrical shank seats in 3-jaw chucks without slipping under normal feed rates. Its regular spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling in light- to medium-duty applications. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Key Features

• No. 23 wire size with 0.1540 inch diameter for precise gauge-sized holes
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust force
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear and heat resistance
• 2-inch spiral flute length with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Web-thinned, tapered web construction rated to heavy duty grade per NAS specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit for use in any drill press, hand drill, or CNC drilling setup accepting a 0.1540 inch straight cylindrical shank, consistent with NAS specification tooling requirements.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist, tool and die worker, or trade professional by seating the straight shank firmly in a 3-jaw chuck and tightening securely before operation. Always power down or disconnect the drill or machine before changing bits. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before starting the cut. Do not use excessive side load on the bit, as jobber-length HSS bits can deflect or break under lateral force.
