Hertel C.402.1450 Jobber Drill Bit 14.50mm Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.402.1450 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 14.50 mm (0.5709 inch) diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle. Designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, it delivers consistent hole quality in production and maintenance environments. The oxide coating provides a measure of corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge. With a 168 mm overall length and a 122 mm spiral flute length, the bit clears chips efficiently during through-hole operations. It is sold individually and suits manual or machine-fed drilling setups common in fabrication shops and field service work.

This jobber drill is suited for general-purpose use across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing applications. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard keyless or keyed drill chucks, making it compatible with bench drill presses, radial arm drills, and hand-held power drills. The two-flute spiral geometry handles a broad range of workpiece materials and is appropriate for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in production or repair contexts. The 0.5709-inch decimal equivalent places this bit in the 0.5000 to 0.6500 inch size range for easy cross-referencing with inch-standard tooling charts.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any drill press, CNC drilling machine, or hand-held power drill equipped with a chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the 14.50 mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized and tightened drill chuck before operating the machine. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning the cut to prevent rotation or movement that can damage the bit or the part. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
