Built from vanadium high speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this wire gauge size 15 bit delivers extended tool life and reduced friction in demanding production and maintenance drilling applications. The 120-degree split point with S-thinned web geometry promotes self-centering on entry, reducing the need for a center punch on flat or curved surfaces. Overall length is 91 millimeters with a flute length of 47 millimeters, making it well suited for portable drill presses, benchtop machines, and handheld drill motors in metalworking environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit fits standard jobber-length drilling applications across fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical assembly. It handles blind holes, cross holes, and through-drilling in steel and non-ferrous metals up to the capacity of the machine being used. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 6 millimeter diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks without requiring specialized toolholders. Series 1600 production from OSG targets professional tradespeople and machinists who need consistent dimensional accuracy on repeat drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium HSS construction for elevated heat resistance and edge retention in ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction, extends service life, and provides visual wear indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e120-degree drill point angle with S-thinned web for self-centering entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral regular-helix flute geometry with tapered web for efficient chip evacuation in deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 15 (0.1799 inch \/ 4.57 millimeters) with tight diameter tolerance of plus 0 to minus 0.018 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum silicate workpieces.

Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent rotation or movement under cutting load. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or hardened steel to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the TiN coating and cutting edges before each use; a worn or chipped edge should be replaced rather than reground to preserve the coated geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1799 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.57 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 91 millimeters (approx. 3.58 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 47 millimeters (approx. 1.85 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered with S-Thinned Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0 to minus 0.018 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Aluminum Alloy, Aluminum Silicate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1600\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8597457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729729454386,"sku":"8597457","price":68.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7e423ce07c9d4a94e93058857fc46990_dd3f8a78-287a-45da-94f7-755479df2ef0.jpg?v=1788708560","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-8597457-jobber-drill-bit-wire-15-tin-hss-120-deg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
