Osg 220-0760 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 48 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 220-0760 is a jobber-length drill bit ground from solid carbide and sized to wire gauge 48 (0.0760 decimal inch / 1.93 mm). It features a 118-degree web-thinned point with a regular spiral flute configuration and a bright, uncoated finish. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without adaptation. At 1.75 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute, the compact geometry suits precise, shallow-to-moderate depth drilling in tight spaces. Two right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently, and the web-thinned point reduces thrust load when entering hard materials.

This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum silicate. Applicable operations include through drilling, blind hole drilling, cross hole drilling, and self-centering entry. General-purpose tool performance makes it a reliable fit for machine shop, toolroom, and field maintenance work where carbide rigidity outperforms high-speed steel in abrasive or work-hardening materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Wire gauge size 48, 0.0760 decimal inch (1.93 mm) diameter
• 118-degree web-thinned point reduces entry thrust and improves self-centering
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute for consistent chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish - compatible with most cutting fluids without coating adhesion concerns
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks
• Rated for blind hole, cross hole, drilling, and self-centering applications (no coolant-through required)

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power tools accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the wire gauge 48 size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified trade professionals familiar with cutting tool setup. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck and verify runout before drilling. Power down the machine and follow lockout/tagout procedures before changing or inspecting the bit. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to fracture under excessive side load or chatter.
