Hertel 89323232 Taper Shank Drill Bit 25/32 in 2MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89323232 is a taper shank drill bit designed for drilling precise, clean holes in metal and general-purpose materials. It carries a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for secure seating in compatible drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. The bit is ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The 118-degree split-point geometry suits a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, making it a reliable choice for machine shops and maintenance operations. The 6-inch flute length supports chip evacuation in deeper holes.

This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. It seats into any spindle or sleeve machined to the No. 2 Morse Taper standard, which is common on floor-model drill presses, engine lathes, and knee mills. The 25/32-inch diameter and 9-7/8-inch overall length make it a practical selection for through-hole and deep-hole work where a straight-shank bit would lack the rigidity or grip.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• No. 2 Morse Taper shank provides positive self-holding engagement in compatible spindles
• 118-degree point angle suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion protection
• 6-inch flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation in deeper cuts
• 9-7/8-inch overall length adds reach for deeper workpiece access

Compatibility

Designed for use in any drill press, lathe, or milling machine spindle machined to the No. 2 Morse Taper standard. A drift and sleeve may be required depending on the machine spindle size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or 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 before insertion to ensure full contact and prevent slipping. Use a proper drift key and soft mallet to eject the bit safely — do not strike the spindle housing directly.
