Osg 8612561 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 2

Product Description

The OSG 8612561 is a jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance metal drilling applications. Built from powdered metal with a V coating, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance in demanding shop and field environments. It carries a wire gauge size of 2, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.2210 inches, and features a 130-degree point angle suited for penetrating harder materials with reduced thrust. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 6.00 millimeters and fits standard drill chucks. Overall length is 101.00 millimeters with a flute length of 57.00 millimeters. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users.

This drill bit is intended for use on metals and harder materials where a high-performance powdered metal construction is required. The spiral flute geometry with regular spiral type and right-hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for standard drilling operations on mills, drill presses, and hand-held power tools. The R-thinned web reduces the chisel edge for easier starting and lower feed force. It is packaged and sold individually and is appropriate for production, maintenance, and repair environments handling wire-gauge-sized holes in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch decimal range.

Key Features

• Powdered metal construction for high-performance durability in metal cutting
• V coating applied to the cutting surfaces for wear resistance and extended tool life
• 130-degree split point angle reduces walking and is optimized for harder workpieces
• R-thinned web lowers drilling thrust and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a high-performance jobber length drill bit for use in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch decimal inch size range, compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 6.00 millimeter straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is properly tightened on the shank before operation. Always operate at the correct surface footage for the material being drilled to prevent premature coating wear or bit breakage. Wear appropriate eye and face protection in compliance with applicable shop safety standards.
