Hertel H95006001 Jobber Drill Bit 5/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL H95006001 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose holemaking in metal, wood, and similar materials. It measures 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch decimal) in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 7/8-inch flute length. The 137-degree split point reduces walking on entry and cuts more aggressively than a standard 118-degree point, making it well suited for production drilling and repetitive operations. An oxide finish provides baseline lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. The two-flute spiral design evacuates chips efficiently throughout the cut.

This bit is intended for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling applications where small-diameter precision holes are required. It fits standard drill chucks and is appropriate for light-to-medium duty work in ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The heavy-duty grade designation indicates it is built for higher feed rates and more demanding cycle times than standard jobber bits. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance trades commonly use bits in this size and series for pilot holes, tapping prep, and fixture work.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch diameter (0.0781 inch decimal) for small-bore precision holemaking
• 137-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers thrust force at entry
• High speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling grades
• Oxide finish improves surface lubricity and resists light corrosion
• Right-hand, two-flute spiral design promotes consistent chip evacuation
• ANSI specification designation ensures dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any drill chuck sized to accept 5/64 inch shank diameters, including handheld power drills, benchtop drill presses, and CNC spindles within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in a properly rated chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the machine. Use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life, particularly in ferrous stock. Inspect the split point for chipping or wear before each use and replace the bit if the cutting edges show visible damage. Dispose of worn bits in accordance with applicable shop safety procedures for sharp metal waste.
