Hertel C.402.1600 Jobber Drill Bit 16.00 Mm Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.402.1600 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 16.00 mm diameter with a standard 118-degree split point. Designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, this bit features a spiral flute geometry and a black oxide coating that reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during operation. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks without adapter hardware. At 181.00 mm overall length with a 132.00 mm flute length, it delivers the reach and chip-clearing capacity expected in production and maintenance drilling applications.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and field maintenance environments where a reliable general-purpose drill is needed. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press, mill, or hand-drill operation. With a decimal inch equivalent of 0.6299 inches, it fits within the 0.5000 to 0.6500 inch drill size range, making it a practical choice for machinists and maintenance technicians working in both metric and imperial contexts.

Key Features

• 16.00 mm diameter with 0.6299 inch decimal equivalent for metric and imperial compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• High speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance during cutting
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and offers light corrosion protection
• Spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses that accept straight-cylindrical shank tooling in the 15.00 mm and larger size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a standard three-jaw or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the machine is powered down and the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life, noting this bit does not have coolant-through capability. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised.
