Hertel C.402.0230 Jobber Drill Bit 2.30 Mm Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.402.0230 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added lubricity and surface protection, this bit features a standard 118-degree split-less point that self-centers on most work surfaces. The two-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling operations. At 2.30 mm in diameter with a 57 mm overall length and a 32 mm flute length, this drill is sized for precision work in tight or small-diameter applications. It is a standard production item for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty production and maintenance drilling in shop and field environments. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard keyless or keyed drill chucks without adapters, making it compatible with most benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling stations, and handheld power tools. Right-hand cutting direction suits conventional clockwise-rotating spindles. It falls within the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm size range and the 0.0500 to 0.1000 decimal inch range, making it a common size for pilot holes, clearance holes, and tapping prep work.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before running the spindle. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel or aluminum workpieces to extend tool life. Wear eye protection in compliance with applicable shop safety standards whenever drilling operations are in progress.
