It features a 15\/16-inch (0.9375 inches) cutting diameter paired with a 3\/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard drill chucks without requiring a larger spindle bore. The 118-degree split-free point angle suits a wide range of common materials. The high-speed steel construction with an oxide finish provides adequate heat and wear resistance for production and maintenance drilling applications. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling operations in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The reduced shank design allows a 15\/16-inch cutting diameter to be used in drill presses, mills, or hand drills equipped with a standard 3\/4-inch chuck. With a 3-inch flute length and a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches, it handles typical through-hole and blind-hole operations in steel plate, aluminum, plastics, and similar workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15\/16-inch (0.9375 inches) cutting diameter with a 3\/4-inch reduced shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose use across common metals and 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 reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length with a 2-1\/4-inch shank length for stable chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills fitted with a 3\/4-inch or larger chuck capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the 3\/4-inch shank fully into the chuck before drilling and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Do not exceed the recommended drilling depth of 3 inches; retract the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inch (0.9375 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\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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.901.2381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727445918002,"sku":"F.901.2381","price":67.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a9170534d7f9dca4304cfba666e399a0.jpg?v=1788678009","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-f-901-2381-reduced-shank-drill-bit-15-16-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
