Hertel C.E03.02383 Aircraft Extension Drill Bit 3/32 in

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E03.02383 is an aircraft extension drill bit designed for drilling in hard-to-reach locations where standard-length bits fall short. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch decimal) in diameter and runs 6 inches in overall length. The 135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces walking on entry, which makes it reliable for precise hole placement in metal, composites, and similar materials. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance and helps maintain consistent feed rates. This bit is a general-purpose tool suited for aviation maintenance technicians, sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, and electrical tradespeople who need extended reach in confined assemblies.

This aircraft extension drill bit is suited for use in tight structural bays, panel cavities, and framed assemblies where access is limited. The 6-inch overall length provides the reach needed for aircraft airframes, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal framing applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in these trades. With a 1.25-inch flute length and right-hand cutting direction, it clears chips efficiently during short-depth passes typical of sheet and light structural material work.

Key Features

• 3/32 inch diameter with 6-inch overall length for extended reach in confined spaces
• 135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces bit walking on entry
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for durability and heat resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and feed force
• Spiral flute with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and right-angle adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit for use with standard 3/32-inch straight-shank drill chucks and right-angle drill attachments in aviation, sheet metal, HVAC, and electrical applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by trade professionals including aircraft maintenance technicians, sheet metal workers, and HVAC fabricators. Secure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before use and verify the workpiece is clamped or secured to prevent movement. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
