Osg 10182005 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.182 in Cobalt

Product Description

The OSG 10182005 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in steel and alloy steel workpieces. Built from cobalt high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit delivers improved heat resistance and edge retention compared to standard HSS tooling. It features a 130-degree drill point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. The 2-flute, R-thinned web construction reduces thrust and promotes cleaner entry. At 0.182 inches in diameter (Wire Size 14, 4.62 mm), it fits standard drill chucks and is suited to production and maintenance machining environments.

This bit is rated for use in steel and alloy steel applications and is sized within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal inch range. The screw machine length body keeps the drill compact and rigid, making it appropriate for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machines where stub-length tooling improves accuracy and reduces deflection. It is installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool-and-die professionals in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• Cobalt high speed steel construction for elevated heat resistance in steel and alloy steel drilling
• 130-degree drill point angle with standard point type for general-purpose entry geometry
• R-thinned, tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip flow
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for consistent chip evacuation
• Screw machine (stub) length for added rigidity and reduced deflection
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit drill bit for applications requiring a 0.182 inch (Wire Size 14) screw machine length bit in steel and alloy steel materials.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck, verifying shank seating and runout before operation. Machinists and maintenance mechanics should confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before cutting. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
