Hertel H95006003 Jobber Drill Bit 7/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL H95006003 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose holemaking in metal, wood, and composite materials. It carries a 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch decimal) diameter and a 137-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements compared to a conventional 118-degree point. The oxide and TiN coating improves surface hardness and provides moderate lubricity during cutting. With an overall length of 2-5/8 inches and a flute length of 1-1/4 inches, this bit fits standard drill chucks used in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment. It is intended for right-hand rotation and carries a heavy-duty grade designation.

This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet metal work where a small-diameter, precise entry hole is required. The regular spiral flute promotes chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. It is a single-piece consumable sold individually and is well matched for repetitive drilling tasks on a bench-top drill press or handheld power drill in light industrial and trade environments.

Key Features

• 137-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers feed pressure at entry
• High speed steel construction with oxide and TiN coating for added wear resistance
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearing
• Heavy-duty grade designation for demanding production use
• 2-flute design in standard jobber-length format fits common drill chucks
• Meets ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any 3-jaw drill chuck accepting shanks up to 7/64 inch diameter, including hand drills, drill presses, and CNC spindles configured for right-hand rotation.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit fully in the chuck and confirm it is centered before applying power. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Discard or resharpen the bit if point geometry shows visible wear, as a degraded split point increases the risk of walking and oversized holes.
