Osg 200-0938 Die Drill Bit 3/32 Inch Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 200-0938 is a straight-flute die drill bit engineered for precision drilling in tool steels, die materials, and other hard workpieces. Built from solid carbide with a bright finish, this bit delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed when drilling into tough substrates where high-speed steel tooling falls short. The 3/32-inch diameter and 140-degree standard point angle make it well suited for initiating clean, accurate holes in hardened materials. With a 1-3/4-inch overall length and a 3/4-inch flute, it fits standard die-making and maintenance applications where compact reach is required. Two right-hand cutting flutes provide efficient chip evacuation in short-travel bores.

This drill bit is intended for use in die shops, mold shops, and precision machining environments where solid carbide tooling is specified. It is commonly used by tool-and-die makers, machinists, and maintenance technicians drilling through hardened steel, carbide, and similar materials. The short flute length and compact overall length make it appropriate for close-clearance drilling on die blocks, fixtures, and precision components. It is part of the OSG Series 200 line and sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 140-degree standard point angle for accurate entry and reduced thrust in hard substrates
• Straight-flute design suited for drilling brittle or hard materials where fluted geometry aids chip control
• Bright finish with no coating - ready for use as-delivered
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill press and CNC spindle rotation
• Coolant-through not required - simplifies setup in bench and manual drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank die drill bit for use in standard 3/32-inch capacity collets, chucks, or die-drilling fixtures on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and precision drill grinders.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or tool-and-die technician familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Carbide is brittle - avoid lateral loading, interrupted cuts without proper setup, or excessive runout in the chuck, as any of these conditions can cause chipping or fracture. Confirm spindle runout is within acceptable tolerance before use, and verify the shank seats fully and concentrically in the collet or chuck. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-specific operating procedures when setting speeds and feeds for solid carbide tooling.
