Bit sizes range from 9\/16 inch to 1 inch in 1\/16-inch step increments, covering the most common large-bore applications in metal fabrication, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance. All bits are manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for improved heat resistance and lubricity during cutting. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is suited for trade professionals and production shops that require a range of large-diameter bits without swapping to morse taper tooling. The reduced 1\/2-inch shank allows use in standard three-jaw chucks, making these bits practical on drill presses and heavy-duty portable drills. Typical applications include structural steel work, HVAC bracket fabrication, conduit knockout drilling, and plumbing rough-in work where holes between 9\/16 inch and 1 inch are required in metal or similar substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-piece set covering 9\/16 inch to 1 inch in 1\/16-inch increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced 1\/2-inch shank fits standard three-jaw chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance on deep cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length suits drill press and portable drill use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal storage case keeps bits organized and protected on the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any drill press or heavy-duty portable drill equipped with a 1\/2-inch or larger three-jaw chuck; compatible with standard right-hand rotation drilling applications in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist, millwright, or trade professional familiar with large-diameter drilling operations. Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through to prevent grabbing. Use cutting fluid on ferrous materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect each bit for chipping or wear before use and replace any bit that shows signs of damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inch to 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep Increments\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 reduced shank drill bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Unit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.83 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C.E96.S8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752804778290,"sku":"C.E96.S8","price":399.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16d436163d5d19a8bd138adee302c520.jpg?v=1788930416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-c-e96-s8-reduced-shank-drill-bit-set-8-pc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
