It measures 0.177 inches in diameter with a 3-3\/8 inch overall length and a 2-1\/16 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact, allowing the bit to self-center without a pilot hole. The oxide coating provides a base level of lubricity and corrosion resistance. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is suited for use in standard drill presses and hand-held electric drills in shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for use in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. The mechanics length format — shorter than a jobber bit — provides added rigidity and better control in tight clearance applications such as equipment repair, fabrication shops, and on-site mechanical service work. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without modification. It is a practical everyday cutting tool for HVAC techs, pipefitters, millwrights, and general mechanics who need reliable hole quality in ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point self-centers on contact, reducing drill walk without a center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides heat resistance during metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length (3-3\/8 inches OAL) offers greater rigidity than jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes with web-thinned, parallel web configuration for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish adds baseline lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general-purpose drilling in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Apply consistent, steady feed pressure — excessive force can overheat the cutting edge and shorten tool life. Inspect the split point for chipping or wear before each use; a damaged point will produce oversized or off-center holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, High Alloy Steel, High Tensile Strength Alloy, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\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: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721064284466,"sku":"20816","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c945a256f7b70f23b7064259db3189b8.jpg?v=1788573047","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20816-mechanics-drill-bit-0-177-in-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
