Hertel C.E09.0754 Extra Length Drill Bit 0.2969 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E09.0754 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for drilling operations that require extended reach beyond standard bit lengths. Manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit features a 118-degree drill point angle suited for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. With an overall length of 10 inches and a flute length of 7.5 inches, it provides the depth capacity needed for deep-hole work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial applications. Two flutes clear chips efficiently throughout the cut.

This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics where standard-length bits cannot reach. Typical applications include drilling through structural members, deep fixtures, and assemblies where clearance is limited or hole depth exceeds what a jobber-length bit can achieve. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and industrial tradespeople working on fabrication benches, drill presses, and hand-held power drills.

Key Features

• Extra length at 10 inches overall for deep-reach drilling applications
• 7.5-inch flute length provides extended chip evacuation path
• 118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose use across common materials
• High-speed steel construction offers durability under moderate heat and cutting loads
• Oxide finish provides light surface protection and reduces friction during cutting
• Two-flute design promotes clean chip removal in deep-hole drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2969-inch shank diameter, suitable for use in drill presses, CNC drilling equipment, and hand-held power drills.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck and verify runout before beginning any drilling operation. Extra length bits are more susceptible to deflection than jobber-length bits — use lower feed rates and reduce RPM accordingly, especially when entering the workpiece. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Lubricate with cutting fluid when drilling metal to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup.
