Osg 10096005 Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.096 in

Product Description

The OSG 10096005 is a cobalt high speed steel screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in steel and alloy steel. The bit measures 0.096 inches in diameter with a 130-degree split point angle and features an X-thinned web for reduced thrust and easier penetration. At 2-1/16 inches overall length with a 13/16-inch flute length, this is a compact stub-length format suited for close-quarter and machine tool applications. It carries a 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and a tapered web configuration. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and production floor operators typically source this bit for precision work on ferrous materials.

This screw machine length drill bit is used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machine tools where a shorter, more rigid drill is required to minimize deflection. Its cobalt high speed steel construction handles elevated cutting temperatures, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and harder steel alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure retention in standard drill chucks and collets. It is appropriate for production and maintenance machining environments where accuracy and tool life on steel workpieces are priorities.

Key Features

• Cobalt high speed steel construction for heat resistance and extended tool life on ferrous materials
• 130-degree drill point angle with X-thinned web reduces entry thrust and improves centering
• Screw machine length format provides added rigidity and reduced deflection compared to jobber length bits
• Two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collets without modification
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral with tapered web for consistent performance in production settings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw machine length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.096-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for steel and alloy steel workpiece applications in the OSG Series 1000 line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians setting up drill press or CNC operations. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or chuck before initiating the spindle. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before cutting. Do not exceed the bit's rated cutting capacity on hardened materials without verifying tool grade compatibility.
