It features a 31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch decimal) diameter and a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and allows drilling to start without a center punch. The high-speed steel (HSS) construction handles the heat generated during metal cutting. The three-flat Weldon shank locks securely in compatible chucks, preventing bit slippage under load. Overall length is 4-7\/8 inches with a 3-1\/4 inch flute length. The oxide finish provides a baseline level of surface protection. Right-hand cutting direction. Installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and metalworking trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling into carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel stock. Mechanics-length bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, making them stiffer and better suited to applications where rigidity matters more than reach — such as drilling in confined spaces or when minimizing deflection in thick material. The spiral flute type and regular spiral promote efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust required to advance the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31\/64 inch diameter with 0.4844 inch decimal equivalent for precision sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and improves self-centering on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction withstands heat generated in metal cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flat Weldon shank prevents rotation slippage under high-torque conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanics length (4-7\/8 inches OAL) provides added rigidity over standard jobber bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web reduces required drilling thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with drill chucks and tool holders that accept a three-flat Weldon shank.

Power down and de-energize any machine tool before loading or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety practices during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch decimal)\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: Weldon Flat (3 flats)\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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/4 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, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\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: 20927\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720500838706,"sku":"20927","price":75.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/22713166a0bb5ba3c4808bf00e38f2bc.jpg?v=1788565110","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20927-mechanics-drill-bit-31-64-in-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
