Hertel C.E10.1508 Extra Length Drill Bit 0.5938 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E10.1508 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit engineered for drilling operations that require deeper reach than standard-length bits provide. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it offers solid wear resistance for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. The bit measures 0.5938 inches in diameter with a 118-degree split or conventional point angle, a 9-inch flute length, and a 12-inch overall length. The two-flute design promotes chip evacuation in deep-hole applications. This tool is used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need reliable reach in fabrication and field service environments.

This extra length drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in production shops, maintenance facilities, and field installation work where standard-length bits cannot reach fastener holes, through-bolts, or structural members in confined or deep workpieces. The 12-inch overall length makes it particularly useful when drilling through thick stock, assemblies, or structural sections. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills capable of accepting a 0.5938-inch shank.

Key Features

• 0.5938-inch diameter for large-bore drilling in a single pass
• 12-inch overall length provides extended reach beyond standard jobber bits
• 9-inch flute length supports deep-hole chip clearance
• 118-degree point angle suits general-purpose materials including steel, aluminum, and plastics
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat and wear resistance
• Two-flute geometry balances cutting speed and chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with drill presses, magnetic base drills, and power hand drills that accept a 0.5938-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals with access to appropriate drilling equipment. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Ensure the drill chuck is properly tightened and rated for the shank diameter. Follow OSHA and shop-specific PPE requirements including eye protection when operating any rotary cutting tool.
