It measures 0.154 inches in diameter with a 3-1\/8 inch overall length and a 1-15\/16 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking at startup and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. Made from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit handles the heat generated in production and maintenance drilling. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently from the cut zone. Trades and shop technicians reach for mechanics-length bits when standard jobber-length bits are too long for confined or close-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloys, and stainless steel. The shorter mechanics length provides added rigidity, reducing deflection and improving hole accuracy in tough materials. It is a practical choice for HVAC techs, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics who drill mounting holes, knockout punch pilots, and anchor points in metal fabrications and enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction withstands heat generated during metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish improves lubricity and provides basic corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length at 3-1\/8 inches overall provides extra rigidity over jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web for reduced thrust and improved cutting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks and drill presses accepting straight-cylindrical shanks.
