Hertel 89320576 Drill Bit Size 24 0.1520 in Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The HERTEL 89320576 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 2-1/16 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of production and repair drilling tasks. The straight shank and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers routinely reach for this stub-length geometry when rigidity and reduced deflection matter more than extended reach.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which reduces flex and improves hole accuracy in CNC machining centers, turret lathes, and drill presses. This bit suits light-to-medium production work where consistent hole diameter at 0.1520 inches (wire gauge size 24) is required. The compact overall length is especially useful when working in tight fixtures or close to a chuck face where a longer bit would not clear the setup.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile entry into a wide range of workpiece materials
• Stub screw machine length reduces deflection and improves positional accuracy
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in CNC machining centers, turret lathes, drill presses, and handheld drill motors equipped with a standard straight-shank chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before running. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before starting the cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed selection.
