The 0.104-inch diameter bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust force needed to start a hole, making it well suited for hand-held and drill-press work. The oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and surface hardness. At 2.5 inches overall length, this is a short, rigid bit that resists deflection in tight quarters. The right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloys, and stainless steel. The mechanics length format is common in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where clearance is limited and a standard-length jobber bit would bind or deflect. It is typically used in portable drill drivers, drill presses, and step-drill pilot applications where a small-diameter entry hole is required before upsizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walk and lowers drilling thrust on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction retains hardness through the heat generated in metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish adds surface lubricity and mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length (2.5 inches OAL) provides rigidity and control in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned construction reduces cutting resistance through the center of the bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit suitable for use in any standard straight-shank chuck rated for small-diameter bits in hand drills and drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and serviced by any trade professional who performs metal drilling as part of rough-in or service work. Secure the bit fully in the chuck and verify it runs true before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.104 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4375 inches\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, High Alloy Steel, High Tensile Strength Alloy, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 20837\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691602411826,"sku":"20837","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/413e9aca2b994122496033b100be139a.jpg?v=1788287651","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20837-mechanics-drill-bit-0-104-in-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
