It features a 31\/64 inch cutting diameter paired with a 3\/8 inch Weldon flat shank, which allows the bit to seat securely in compatible chucks and reduce slippage under torque. The 135-degree split point promotes fast penetration and self-centering without a pilot hole. At 4-7\/8 inches overall length with a 3-1\/4 inch flute, it suits most standard drill press and handheld power tool setups. The high-speed steel construction with an oxide finish provides adequate wear resistance for general-purpose metal drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, and field service situations where drilling into carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, or tough alloy materials is required. The reduced shank design makes it practical when a larger cutting diameter is needed but the available chuck capacity is limited to 3\/8 inch. It is a right-hand cut bit and performs best in standard drill presses, magnetic drills, and variable-speed hand drills. The three-flat Weldon shank style is compatible with set-screw style toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e31\/64 inch cutting diameter with a reduced 3\/8 inch Weldon flat shank for use in standard 3\/8 inch chuck setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced thrust on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish helps resist corrosion and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flat Weldon shank design prevents bit rotation in set-screw toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute for standard drilling orientation; regular spiral type for general-purpose stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental drill bit for use with 3\/8 inch Weldon flat set-screw toolholders and compatible drill chucks.

Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in the toolholder set screw before use to prevent slippage under load. Always power down and de-energize the drill or press before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or cooling measures when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend tool life, even though this bit is rated for dry use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\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\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\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T8M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\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: BDNA-20947\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691395842354,"sku":"BDNA-20947","price":71.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/32a3b3b6c3c02730788a7608f86d682f.jpg?v=1788284444","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-bdna-20947-reduced-shank-drill-bit-31-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
