Osg 8608244 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.096 in Xpm

Product Description

The OSG 8608244 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and nickel alloy workpieces. It measures 0.096 inches (wire size #41) in diameter with an overall length of 46.00 mm and a flute length of 14.00 mm. The bit is manufactured from XPM high-speed steel with a coated finish and features a 130-degree drill point angle with X-Thinned web geometry for reduced thrust and improved penetration. It is well suited for production drilling environments where tight tolerances and consistent performance are required. Machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and metal fabricators install this bit in screw machines and drill presses handling short-hole operations.

This bit fits applications where a compact, screw machine length tool is needed to minimize deflection and maintain positional accuracy in small-diameter holes. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio keeps the tool rigid in short-bore work. Primary workpiece materials include steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and nickel alloy. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 3.00 mm shank diameter fits standard drill chucks and screw machine toolholders. Series 1900 identifies it within the OSG catalog for reorder and cross-reference purposes.

Key Features

• XPM high-performance tool material with coated finish for extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 130-degree drill point angle with X-Thinned web for reduced entry thrust
• Screw machine length (3xD) design minimizes deflection in short-hole drilling
• Right-hand spiral flute geometry for standard CW cutting and efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and screw machine holders
• Diameter tolerance of +0 to -0.014 mm for consistent, repeatable hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length drill bit for use in screw machines, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a straight-cylindrical shank and compact flute length are required for small-diameter hole drilling in ferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and metalworking tradespeople. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Power down and de-energize all machine motion before changing or inspecting the bit. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid premature tool failure.
