Hertel 89323356 Taper Shank Drill Bit 9/32 in 1MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89323356 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch decimal) diameter, a No. 1 Morse taper shank for secure seating in compatible spindles and chucks, and a 118-degree drill point angle suited for a wide range of workpiece materials. The high-speed steel construction with an oxide finish provides adequate hardness and wear resistance for production and maintenance drilling operations. This bit is a single-piece, individually packaged tool intended for use by machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and other machine tool spindles accepting a No. 1 Morse taper. Its 9/32 inch diameter suits applications requiring precise hole sizing in light to medium stock removal tasks. The 3 inch flute length accommodates moderate depth-of-cut requirements, while the 6.25 inch overall length provides reach in standard machine setups. It is a general-purpose tool suitable for both shop and field maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with machine tool operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is securely seated in the taper socket before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the taper shank and socket for chips or damage before mounting to ensure concentricity and safe seating.
