Built from cobalt tool steel, it delivers superior heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel bits. The 135-degree split point is self-centering, eliminating the need for a center punch and reducing walking on entry. A straw finish indicates controlled heat treatment. With a 6-inch overall length and a 0.0860-inch decimal diameter, this bit gives technicians extended reach into confined or deep workspaces. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and general trade professionals working with tight-clearance installations will find this geometry well suited to precision hole placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis aircraft extension drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling where extended reach and accuracy are required. The spiral flute with two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction efficiently evacuates chips during operation. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves penetration in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It meets NAS 907 standards, making it appropriate for aerospace-grade and precision trade applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks without slippage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt tool steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with self-centering geometry eliminates center-punching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves bite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach into confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraw finish indicates controlled heat treatment process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 standard for dimensional and performance compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard straight-cylindrical chuck systems used across trade and precision drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and operated by machinists, sheet metal workers, and trade professionals using standard handheld or drill press equipment. Secure the straight cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before operating. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard or ferrous materials to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and discard the bit if chipping or heat discoloration beyond the straw zone is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0860 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: 1.125 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: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\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: 0.01 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.E06.0218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749971427634,"sku":"C.E06.0218","price":17.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/74db2bdb6746dd7f7da330913073b8c0.jpg?v=1788912795","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-c-e06-0218-aircraft-drill-bit-size-44-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
