It carries a Letter D designation, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.2460 inches, and features a 118-degree split-free point that centers quickly on contact. The shorter screw machine length body provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in tight clearance setups and chuck-close drilling operations. Constructed from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC lathes, turret lathes, and hand-held power tools where a compact, rigid cutting tool is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for production and maintenance drilling in light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and job site work. The screw machine format is commonly used when drilling from a turret or gang drill where overall length clearance is limited. With a right-hand cutting direction, it is compatible with standard clockwise-rotating spindles found on the vast majority of drill presses and machining centers. General-purpose grade construction makes it a practical choice for technicians and machinists working with mild steel, aluminum, brass, and thermoplastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter D size: 0.2460 inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree point angle for fast engagement and self-centering on flat stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body provides increased rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction retains cutting edge through normal production drilling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid or dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut compatible with standard clockwise-rotating spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks, turret lathes, gang drills, and CNC machining centers with right-hand spindle rotation and chucks accepting shank diameters within the 0.2460 inch range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Ensure the drill press or machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Secure the bit fully in the chuck to the maximum recommended grip depth and verify runout before beginning a drilling cycle. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2460 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 89321087\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733025161522,"sku":"89321087","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c0277cd25d55d5c500c655a5384c03f0.jpg?v=1788750710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-89321087-drill-bit-letter-d-118-point-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
