Hertel C.E08.0754 Extra Length Drill Bit Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E08.0754 is an extra length drill bit designed for drilling applications that require extended reach beyond what a standard-length bit provides. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 0.2969 inches in diameter with an overall length of 8 inches and a flute length of 5.5 inches. The 118-degree drill point angle is a general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of common materials. With 2 flutes and a solid HSS construction, this bit is intended for use in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance shops where deep-hole or hard-to-reach drilling is part of the daily workflow.

This bit fits general-purpose drilling tasks in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing rough-in, and industrial maintenance environments. The extra length is particularly useful when drilling through structural members, deep housings, or stacked materials where a standard jobber-length bit cannot reach the worksite. It is suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic-base drills by machinists, pipefitters, and field service technicians.

Key Features

• 0.2969-inch diameter for precise sizing in fractional and close-tolerance applications
• 8-inch overall length provides extended reach for deep or obstructed drilling locations
• 5.5-inch flute length promotes chip evacuation over extended drilling depth
• 118-degree point angle is a proven general-purpose geometry for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during continuous use
• Oxide finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance and surface lubricity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a straight shank at 0.2969 inches diameter. Suitable for use with drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic-base drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist, fabricator, or field technician into a standard drill chuck sized to accept the shank diameter. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
