Built from solid carbide and finished with a TiN tip coating, this bit delivers extended tool life and consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 140-degree standard point angle for self-centering entry and reduced thrust force, making it well-suited for high-volume drilling operations. The two-flute, regular spiral design channels chips efficiently out of the hole. Overall length is 2.2835 inches with a flute length of 0.6693 inches. Installation is handled by machinists and CNC operators working in metalworking and fabrication settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in screw machine operations, CNC machining centers, and production drilling applications where tight tolerances and repeatable performance are required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets sized for a 0.1575-inch shank diameter. The stub-length body provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, reducing deflection during high-feed drilling in short-hole applications. Coolant-through capability supports high-speed machining with internal coolant delivery for improved chip evacuation and tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for high hardness and wear resistance in production drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN tip coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle promotes accurate self-centering and lowers entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery for chip management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub length body increases rigidity and minimizes deflection in short-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 6537K specification for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank; part of the KENNAMETAL Series B051A-CPG.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the collet or chuck is de-energized before inserting or removing the bit. Verify chuck or collet size matches the 0.1575-inch shank diameter before securing. When using the coolant-through feature, confirm the machine tool has internal coolant capability and appropriate pressure ratings before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2835 inches (58.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6693 inches (17.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4724 inches (12.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1575 inches (4.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1024 inches (28.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0162 inches (0.41 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Tip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0006 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: B051A-CPG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 6537K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 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: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4148848\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733299167538,"sku":"4148848","price":124.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b6d28a5b8b6a55027364b0e963533780.jpg?v=1788753781","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-4148848-drill-bit-size-38-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
