The variable helix geometry transitions from an aggressive 35-degree helix angle down to 15 degrees, promoting rapid chip evacuation and limiting heat buildup at the cutting edge. A 135-degree split point tip provides a self-centering start, eliminating the need for a center punch on most surfaces and preventing bit walk during entry. This bit is suited for use by machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and any trade professional drilling through hard steels, stainless, or abrasive alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 48-89-2313 is designed for hard metal drilling tasks common in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service work. Applications include drilling through structural steel, angle iron, pipe, and similar ferrous materials. The cobalt construction handles the elevated temperatures generated when cutting hard alloys, making it a practical choice when work material or drilling conditions would quickly dull a standard black oxide or jobber-length HSS bit. It can also be used in general-purpose twist drilling applications across softer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix design: 35-degree angle transitions to 15 degrees for rapid chip removal and reduced heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point tip for self-centering starts and reduced bit walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt construction provides heat resistance and edge retention in hard metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch diameter for standard chuck compatibility across corded and cordless drill drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for general-purpose twist drilling in addition to hard metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard cobalt twist drill bit compatible with 3\/8-inch and 1\/2-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks used in corded drills, cordless drill drivers, and drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should follow standard drill press and hand drill safety practices. Secure workpieces firmly before drilling to prevent rotation. Use cutting fluid or appropriate lubricant when drilling hard ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace bits that show chipping or significant wear to maintain hole accuracy and prevent breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees (transitioning to 15 degrees)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees split point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable Helix Cobalt Twist Drill Bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 045242188284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48-89-2313\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383860822322,"sku":"48-89-2313","price":33.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312671159.png?v=1782609799","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-48-89-2313-cobalt-drill-bit-1-4-inch-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
