Hertel 89323273 Taper Shank Drill Bit 7/32 in 1MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89323273 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It measures 7/32 inches (0.2188 inches) in diameter and carries a No. 1 Morse Taper (1MT) shank for secure seating in compatible drill presses and machine tool spindles. The 118-degree point angle is the standard geometry for drilling into a wide range of common materials. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit offers adequate heat and wear resistance for production and maintenance drilling tasks. Flute length is 2.75 inches and overall length is 6 inches.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The 1MT taper shank mates directly with drill press spindles, lathes, and milling machine quills equipped with a No. 1 Morse Taper socket. It is a general-purpose tool appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals will find it a standard fit for everyday drilling operations where a taper shank is required over a straight shank bit.

Key Features

• 7/32 inch (0.2188 inches) diameter for precise hole sizing
• No. 1 Morse Taper (1MT) shank for positive seating in compatible spindles
• 118-degree point angle — standard geometry for general-purpose drilling
• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance during cutting
• Oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• 2.75 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 1 Morse Taper (1MT) spindle or socket.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a No. 1 Morse Taper socket or adapter; ensure the taper mating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the bit. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the material being drilled — running at excessive speed will reduce tool life. A qualified machinist or maintenance technician should perform setup and operation on machine tool equipment.
