Hertel H95006026 Jobber Drill Bit 15/32 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL H95006026 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for heavy-duty holemaking in metal and general-purpose shop applications. It features a 137-degree split point for reduced walking and faster penetration without a center punch. The bit measures 15/32 inch (0.4688 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 5.75 inches and a flute length of 3.25 inches. An oxide and TiN coating provides added surface hardness and heat resistance during extended drilling cycles. Right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute pattern, this bit is sized for use in standard drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machining setups.

This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and general trade applications. The heavy-duty grade and split-point geometry make it appropriate for drilling mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials where a standard jobber-length reach is sufficient. Sold individually, it fits within the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch decimal size range and conforms to ANSI specification standards.

Key Features

• 137-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers thrust force on entry
• High speed steel construction with oxide and TiN dual coating for heat and wear resistance
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cut for standard drilling operations
• Heavy-duty grade rating suited for repeated use in production environments
• 2-flute design with 3 flats on the shank for secure chuck engagement
• ANSI specification compliance ensures dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with 3-flat drill chucks on benchtop and portable drilling equipment. Fits within the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch decimal drill size range per ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Install into a drill chuck rated for the shank diameter and tighten securely using a chuck key before operation. Power down and de-energize or unplug the drill before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain cutting edge integrity. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
