It is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in shop and field environments. The cutting diameter measures 25\/32 inch (0.7812 inches decimal) with a 3\/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank that allows it to chuck into standard 3\/4-inch capacity drill chucks. The 118-degree split-point geometry is a standard general-purpose angle suited to a broad range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this bit size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit fits standard drill press setups and hand-held power drills equipped with a 3\/4-inch chuck. The reduced shank design allows a larger-diameter bit to seat in a smaller chuck, making it practical for job-site drilling where a full-capacity drill press is not available. With a 3-inch flute length and a 6-inch overall length, this bit handles drilling depths up to 3 inches in a single pass. It is appropriate for maintenance and repair operations, structural fabrication, and general metalworking tasks in both residential and commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25\/32 inch (0.7812 inches) cutting diameter with a reduced 3\/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability under moderate heat and cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish helps reduce friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch flute length supports drilling depths up to 3 inches per pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length with a 2-1\/4-inch shank length for secure chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with drill presses and power drills fitted with a 3\/4-inch capacity chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify the bit runs true before beginning a cut. Always power down and de-energize the drill press or disconnect the power tool before changing bits. Eye protection and appropriate work-holding fixtures are required per standard shop safety practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7812 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\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: F.901.1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747802743090,"sku":"F.901.1984","price":60.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ca1584058aa93111bb9290c59649f88e.jpg?v=1788885659","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-f-901-1984-reduced-shank-drill-bit-25-32-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
