Hertel 89323059 Taper Shank Drill Bit 2in 5MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89323059 is a taper shank drill bit designed for heavy-duty drilling operations in metal fabrication, machining, and industrial maintenance environments. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance at elevated temperatures without rapid edge degradation. The 2-inch diameter cutting edge is paired with a No. 5 Morse taper shank, providing a secure, self-locking fit in compatible spindles and drill press quills. The 118-degree point angle is a general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This bit is intended for use in floor-standing drill presses, radial arm drills, milling machines, and similar machine tools equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper spindle socket. It is rated for general-purpose performance, making it appropriate for production drilling and maintenance drilling in shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial plants. The 10.375-inch flute length provides ample chip clearance when drilling deep holes in thick stock or structural sections.

Key Features

• 2-inch cutting diameter for large-bore hole production
• No. 5 Morse taper shank for self-locking fit in compatible spindles
• 118-degree point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting
• Oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction
• 10.375-inch flute length supports deep-hole chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool spindles and drill press quills accepting a No. 5 Morse taper shank. Verify spindle taper designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of large-diameter taper shank drill bits is performed by qualified machinists or industrial maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank taper and the spindle socket of chips, oil, and debris before insertion to ensure full seating and prevent shank slippage under load. Use a drift key and a soft mallet in the spindle drift slot to remove the bit — do not force or pry against the flutes.
