Hertel C.E96.S60-1 Screw Machine Drill Bit Set 60pc

Product Description

The HERTEL C.E96.S60-1 is a 60-piece screw machine length drill bit set designed for metalworking and general-purpose drilling applications. Each bit is ground from high-speed steel (HSS) and coated with titanium nitride (TiN) to extend cutting life and reduce heat buildup at the tip. The 135-degree split point geometry allows the bit to self-center on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on most metal surfaces. This set is built for heavy-duty use and is a standard stock item for machine shops, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a full wire-gauge range on hand.

This set covers wire gauge sizes from number 60 through number 1, giving the user a complete inch-system wire drill range in a single case. It is suited for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials. The screw machine length geometry — shorter than jobber length — provides added rigidity and reduced deflection, making these bits well matched for drill press work, CNC setups, turret lathes, and hand drilling in tight clearance areas. The metal storage case keeps sizes organized and protects the TiN coating between uses.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty metalworking applications
• Titanium nitride coating extends bit life and lowers cutting friction
• 135-degree split point tip self-centers and reduces walking on metal surfaces
• Screw machine length body offers greater rigidity and less deflection than jobber length bits
• Full wire gauge range from number 60 to number 1 in a single 60-piece set
• Metal storage case organizes all sizes and protects the coating

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill presses, CNC machines, turret lathes, and hand drills accepting inch-system wire gauge shank sizes. Suitable for metalworking and multipurpose drilling in trade and industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Drill bit sets of this type are installed and replaced by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard metals to preserve the TiN coating and extend bit life. Inspect bits for chipping or dulling before each use and replace any damaged bits to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
