Osg 8608264 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.104 in Xpm Coated

Product Description

The OSG 8608264 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in ferrous and hard materials. Built from XPM high-speed steel with a coated finish, it delivers toughness and wear resistance in demanding production environments. The 130-degree drill point and X-thinned web reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. At 0.104 inches (wire size number 37) in diameter and a compact 46.00 mm overall length, this stub-length bit suits close-tolerance work in machining, metalworking, and maintenance applications. It is installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working in metal fabrication and production settings.

This bit is suited for drilling into steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and nickel alloy workpieces. The screw machine (stub) length format provides greater rigidity than jobber-length bits, making it a preferred choice for CNC drilling operations, drill presses, and manual machining where runout and deflection must be minimized. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters.

Key Features

• XPM coated high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 130-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and improves centering on hard materials
• X-thinned web configuration lowers cutting resistance and improves chip flow
• Screw machine (stub) length provides superior rigidity over jobber-length alternatives
• Right-hand spiral flute design for standard CNC and manual drilling setups
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and nickel alloy workpieces. Fits standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 3.00 mm straight shank. Part of the OSG Series 1900 high-performance screw machine drill line.

Installation Notes

Install and secure the shank fully into the chuck or collet before operation. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before starting the drill cycle.
