Hertel C.E08.0675 Extra Length Drill Bit 0.2656 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E08.0675 is an extra length twist drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits cannot reach. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 0.2656 inches in diameter with an overall length of 8 inches and a flute length of 5.5 inches. The 118-degree split point angle is a general-purpose geometry suited for drilling into mild steel, aluminum, wood, and similar materials. With two flutes for efficient chip evacuation, this bit is a practical choice for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians who need extended reach in tight or deep installations.

This extra length drill bit is intended for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling where additional depth capacity is required. It is well-suited for applications such as drilling through deep structural members, through-wall penetrations, multi-layer assemblies, or any situation where a jobber-length bit falls short. Typical users include trade professionals working in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations where extended reach is a recurring need.

Key Features

• 0.2656-inch diameter with 8-inch overall length for extended reach drilling
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of common materials
• Oxide finish helps reduce friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree drill point angle suits general-purpose applications in metal, wood, and plastics
• 5.5-inch flute length promotes effective chip clearance in deep holes
• Two-flute design balances cutting speed with chip evacuation efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses that accept 0.2656-inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals operating handheld drills or drill presses. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling through ferrous metals to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of chipping or dulling.
