Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on entry and reduces the need for a center punch. The extended 12-inch overall length gives technicians access to tight or recessed locations that standard-length bits cannot reach. With a 0.0860-inch decimal diameter, two spiral flutes, and a web-thinned tapered web, it evacuates chips efficiently and maintains cutting performance through the full depth of the hole. Licensed trades and aircraft maintenance technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in sheet metal, structural aluminum, and light alloys commonly found in aircraft frames, assemblies, and airframe repair work. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks without adapters. Its right-hand cutting direction is compatible with conventional drill motors used in both shop and field environments. The 1.125-inch flute length handles material thickness typical of aircraft skin and structural panels. It conforms to NAS 907 standards, making it appropriate for work performed under aerospace maintenance and manufacturing specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point self-centers on contact, reducing walking and eliminating most center-punch steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves chip clearance in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch overall length provides extended reach into recessed or obstructed drilling locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and wear durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo spiral flutes with right-hand cut for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 standards for aerospace drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks used in aerospace, sheet metal, and industrial drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is typically installed and used by aircraft maintenance technicians, machinists, and sheet metal workers. Secure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before starting the drill. When drilling through stacked materials or thin sheet metal, use appropriate clamping to prevent workpiece movement. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and any relevant NAS or shop specifications for drilling procedures and speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0860 inches\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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.E05.0218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733758771506,"sku":"C.E05.0218","price":20.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9cdc8466a95469b0c0e7ecdad024d103.jpg?v=1788758951","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-c-e05-0218-aircraft-drill-bit-no-44-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
