Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it measures 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) in diameter with a 6-inch overall length. The 135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces the need for a center punch on flat surfaces. The web-thinned, tapered web construction lowers thrust force and improves chip evacuation. This bit is suited for machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, and sheet metal workers who regularly drill through structural members, ductwork framing, or tight structural assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is appropriate for general-purpose drilling in metal, sheet stock, and structural steel in both shop and field environments. The extended 6-inch overall length makes it particularly useful in aerospace maintenance, HVAC duct fabrication, electrical rough-in, and plumbing installations where standard drill bits cannot reach fastener locations inside framed walls, equipment cabinets, or airframe panels. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard drill chucks and right-hand drill motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) diameter with straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces walking on flat metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach into confined or deep work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-7\/8 inch (2.875 inch) spiral flute length promotes efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide finish resists heat buildup during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and improves feed rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit for use in standard right-hand drill motors and drill presses accepting a straight cylindrical shank in 17\/64 inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this bit requires a drill motor or drill press with a compatible chuck size; verify chuck capacity before inserting the straight shank. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit deflection on extended-length bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel or stainless to extend bit life and reduce heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and retire any bit showing visible chipping or discoloration from overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\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: 2-7\/8 inches (2.875 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 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.E03.0675\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743846695218,"sku":"C.E03.0675","price":20.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/75c6db8601cf3e69ab9a3ff97cd49285.jpg?v=1788850331","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-c-e03-0675-aircraft-extension-drill-bit-17-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
