It carries a 2-5\/16 inch cutting diameter with a 5 Morse taper shank, making it suitable for heavy-duty drill presses and milling machines equipped with a matching taper spindle. The 118-degree split or conventional point geometry provides a self-centering entry appropriate for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling. The high-speed steel construction with an oxide finish offers basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during operation. This bit is handled by machinists and industrial maintenance technicians working in shop or manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is applied in general-purpose metal drilling operations where a No. 5 Morse taper spindle is available. Typical installations include large floor-standing drill presses, radial arm drill presses, and horizontal boring machines in production shops, maintenance departments, and fabrication facilities. The 10.125 inch flute length accommodates deep-hole drilling passes, while the 17.375 inch overall length fits standard 5MT quill depths. It is suited for both one-off and repetitive drilling tasks on structural steel, plate stock, and similar workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-5\/16 inch (2.3125 inch decimal) cutting diameter for large-bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 5 Morse taper shank for direct mount in compatible machine spindles without a chuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose drilling on a wide range of metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance at moderate cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.125 inch flute length supports deep drilling passes in thick stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill press, milling machine, or boring machine spindles with a No. 5 Morse taper socket.

Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the taper shank. Seat the taper fully into the spindle bore by hand and confirm positive engagement before operation; use a proper drift key in the spindle drift slot to safely eject the bit when changing tooling. Inspect the taper surfaces for nicks or contamination prior to installation, as surface damage will prevent proper seating and can cause the bit to slip under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/16 inches (2.3125 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5MT (No. 5 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-1\/8 inches (10.125 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17-3\/8 inches (17.375 inches decimal)\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: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241639\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: 89322978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729132454194,"sku":"89322978","price":1178.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f6561edee6c4779650b94f9641696b81_9d551b23-adeb-4f47-b82e-8994bf52a896.jpg?v=1788700566","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-89322978-taper-shank-drill-bit-2-5-16-in-5mt-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
