Hertel 89323885 Taper Shank Drill Bit 35/64 in 2MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89323885 is a taper shank twist drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. It features a 35/64-inch (0.5469-inch decimal) diameter with a No. 2 Morse taper shank for secure, self-centering mounting in compatible drill press spindles and machine tool holders. The 118-degree split-point angle promotes accurate starting and reduces walking on flat workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit provides good wear resistance and heat tolerance under moderate cutting speeds. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling operations in shop environments, including machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production floors. The No. 2 Morse taper shank seats directly into drill press quills, lathes, and mill spindles equipped with a 2MT socket, eliminating the need for a separate chuck on most setups. At 8.75 inches overall length with a 4.875-inch flute length, it handles moderate-depth holes while maintaining chip clearance throughout the cut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with machine tool operation. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the taper shank and the spindle socket thoroughly before insertion to ensure full, unobstructed seating and prevent runout. Use a proper drift and mallet when removing the bit from the spindle; never apply lateral force to the shank or flute.
