Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cuts faster than a standard 118-degree tip. The Weldon flat shank with three flats provides a positive drive connection and resists slipping in the chuck. At 0.3230 inches in diameter and 4.0625 inches overall length, this bit handles a wide range of ferrous metal drilling tasks. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in fabrication, mechanical, or maintenance settings will find it a practical general-purpose option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and other ferrous materials in mechanical and maintenance applications. The mechanics length profile balances rigidity and reach for use in standard drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills. The spiral flute and web-thinned, parallel web configuration promote chip evacuation and reduce cutting resistance in tougher alloys. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 3 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter P diameter — 0.3230 inches for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers cutting force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles ferrous metals including stainless steel and high alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank with 3 flats prevents chuck slippage under torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web improves chip clearance and reduces thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with standard Weldon flat chuck holders and drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills that accept a Weldon shank.

Always secure workpieces before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when working with stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend tool life. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when operating any rotating cutting tool. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dullness is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3230 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\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\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: -20870-P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692632146226,"sku":"-20870-P","price":39.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4acc0cc1a21e86bfaed7e3399936d3ce.jpg?v=1788300307","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20870-p-mechanics-drill-bit-letter-p-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
