Hertel H95006115 Jobber Drill Wire 16 0.1770 in Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL H95006115 is a heavy-duty jobber-length drill bit designed for production holemaking in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit carries a wire gauge No. 16 diameter of 0.1770 inches and a 137-degree split point that reduces walking and lowers thrust at entry. The regular spiral flute configuration evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. At 3.375 inches overall length with a 1.75-inch flute length, it fits standard three-jaw chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations alike. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and hand-tool use.

This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople who need a reliable wire-gauge drill for sheet metal work, structural steel drilling, pipe fitting, and general fabrication tasks. The heavy-duty grade construction makes it appropriate for repeat-cycle production use as well as one-off service calls where a consistent, accurately sized hole in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range is required. The ANSI-specification build ensures dimensional consistency across the series.

Key Features

• No. 16 wire gauge diameter — 0.1770 inches decimal equivalent
• 137-degree split point reduces bit walking and cutting thrust
• High speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cutting direction for standard drill operations
• Heavy-duty grade rated for production and repeat-cycle use
• ANSI specification compliance ensures consistent dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any three-jaw chuck or collet system accepting a straight shank in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch diameter range, conforming to ANSI jobber-series dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill press, hand drill, or CNC equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for ferrous metals to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges and split point for wear before each use in production applications.
