Hertel C.E08.0833 Extra Length Drill Bit 0.3281 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E08.0833 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for drilling applications that require extended reach beyond what a jobber-length bit can provide. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit features a 118-degree drill point angle suited for general-purpose work in a wide range of materials including mild steel, aluminum, wood, and plastics. The 8-inch overall length and 5.5-inch flute length give technicians and machinists the depth clearance needed to drill through thick stock or reach into recessed locations. It is a single-unit, general-purpose tool commonly used in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical service environments.

This drill bit is appropriate for general-purpose drilling in both shop and field settings. The extra overall length makes it useful in situations where standard-length bits fall short, such as drilling through structural members, deep fixtures, or stacked materials. It is typically used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who require consistent performance across a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 2-flute design provides efficient chip evacuation during drilling.

Key Features

• Extra length at 8 inches overall, providing extended reach for deep drilling applications
• 118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose use across a wide range of materials
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during drilling
• Oxide finish for added surface protection and reduced friction
• 5.5-inch flute length for effective chip evacuation in deep holes
• 2-flute design for balanced cutting performance and chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drilling equipment that accept a 0.3281-inch diameter shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a compatible drill press, handheld drill, or milling machine with a chuck rated for the bit diameter. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before drilling to prevent movement and bit deflection. Operate at appropriate speeds for the material being drilled, and apply cutting fluid when working with ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace if chipping or dullness is observed.
