Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a 135-degree split point that is self-centering and reduces the need for a center punch. The tapered web and web-thinned geometry lower cutting resistance and improve chip evacuation. At 6 inches overall length with a 1.375-inch spiral flute, it gives technicians the reach required for stacked-material and hard-to-access drilling without sacrificing rigidity. This bit meets NAS 907 standards and is suited for general-purpose production and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is used where standard-length bits cannot reach — structural panel assemblies, fuselage repairs, HVAC sheet metal ductwork, and deep-counterbore setups in light fabrication. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks and pneumatic drill motors commonly used in aviation maintenance, sheet metal shops, and industrial assembly environments. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard rotary drilling equipment. The 0.0995-inch decimal diameter corresponds to No. 39 wire gauge, making it a direct fit for close-tolerance hole sizing in thin-gauge materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces walking on hard or curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers thrust requirements and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach for deep or obstructed drilling locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral flute with right-hand cut clears chips efficiently in sheet metal and stacked materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 standard for aircraft extension drill bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks and pneumatic drill motors used in aviation maintenance, sheet metal fabrication, and industrial assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists, aviation maintenance technicians, or experienced tradespeople familiar with drilling procedures for the specific material being worked. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened on the straight cylindrical shank before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for harder alloys to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping, dullness, or deformation is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 39\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0995 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0995 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241637\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C.E03.0253\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747056910642,"sku":"C.E03.0253","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b71dd30982ade5fad1f0a1ae167ddcf.jpg?v=1788875626","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-c-e03-0253-aircraft-drill-bit-no-39-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
