Hertel C.402.1500 Jobber Drill Bit 15mm Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.402.1500 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added surface hardness and chip resistance. It cuts a 15.00 mm (0.5906 inch) diameter hole using a standard 118-degree point angle, making it suitable for a wide range of materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. The two-flute spiral design channels chips out of the hole efficiently, reducing heat buildup and prolonging cutting edge life. Overall length is 181.00 mm with a 132.00 mm flute length. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without additional tooling.

This drill bit is used in production drilling, fabrication shops, maintenance operations, and general metalworking applications where a versatile, right-hand-cut jobber drill is required. It fits drill presses, CNC machining centers, hand-held corded drills, and magnetic base drills that accept a straight-cylindrical shank. The 15.00 mm diameter falls within the 15.00 mm and above size range, making it a common selection for through-hole and clearance-hole work in light to medium-duty applications.

Key Features

• 15.00 mm (0.5906 inch) cutting diameter for consistent, accurate hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on a broad range of materials
• High speed steel construction provides toughness and re-sharpenability
• Oxide finish increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting
• Two spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation and heat dissipation
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill compatible with any drill press, machining center, or hand-held drill equipped with a chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank in the 15.00 mm diameter class.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection and secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace or resharpen the bit when edge wear becomes visible.
