Hertel 89324230 Taper Shank Drill Bit 2-7/32 in 5MT Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL 89324230 is a taper shank drill bit designed for drilling large-diameter holes in metal and other tough materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it delivers general-purpose performance in heavy-duty drilling applications. The bit measures 2.2188 inches (2-7/32 inches) in diameter and accepts a No. 5 Morse taper (5MT) shank, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. The 118-degree point angle is the standard general-purpose geometry suited for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical end users for this tool.

This drill bit is intended for use on machine tools that accept a 5MT taper shank interface. Typical applications include drilling large through-holes or starter holes in steel plate, cast iron, aluminum, and similar structural materials in shop or industrial maintenance environments. The bit is suited for low- to moderate-speed drilling operations where high torque and rigidity are required. It is sized for production and job-shop use where a 2-7/32-inch bore diameter is specified.

Key Features

• 2.2188-inch (2-7/32 inches) cutting diameter for large-bore drilling applications
• No. 5 Morse taper (5MT) shank for secure, self-centering engagement in compatible machine spindles
• High-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance during prolonged cuts
• Oxide finish helps reduce friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree point angle delivers general-purpose performance across a broad range of materials
• 10.125-inch flute length supports chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool spindles, drill presses, lathes, and boring mills equipped with a No. 5 Morse taper socket. Verify spindle taper designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a machine spindle or sleeve with a matching 5MT socket. Clean both the shank taper and the spindle socket thoroughly before seating to ensure proper engagement and runout. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. A drift key and soft mallet are typically used to eject taper shank tooling from the spindle.
