Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree geometry. At 0.076 inches in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 1-inch flute length, this bit fits applications where a short, rigid cutting tool is needed. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks without adapters. Right-hand cut, spiral flute, web-thinned construction rounds out the feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechanics-length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection in tight-clearance or confined work areas. This bit is suited for use on carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloys, stainless steel, and general steel stock. It is a general-purpose option appropriate for maintenance, fabrication, and service work where controlled, accurate drilling in hard materials is required. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service regularly use mechanics bits for drilling through equipment panels, brackets, and structural steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and lowers required feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanics length (2-inch OAL) provides greater rigidity and better control in confined spaces compared to jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned design improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks; suitable for hand drills, drill presses, and similar equipment used in ferrous metal drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall in a calibrated drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Secure the workpiece with a vise or clamp before drilling — never hand-hold small metal parts. Apply cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.076 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 20848\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720988950834,"sku":"20848","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5de29e4810e7067bcc31f34577282158.jpg?v=1788571947","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20848-mechanics-drill-bit-0-076-in-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
