Osg 8670580 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.2283in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 8670580 is a solid carbide screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in ferrous materials. It carries a 5.80 mm (0.2283 inch) diameter with a 140-degree split point and an R-thinned web for reduced thrust and improved chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 6.00 mm in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. At an overall length of 66.00 mm (approximately 2.6 inches), this stub-length geometry delivers rigidity and minimized runout in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and automatic screw machines. The coated carbide construction extends tool life in production environments where heat and wear are primary concerns.

This drill bit is intended for use in ferrous metalworking applications including steel, alloy steel, and cast iron. Its screw machine length profile is suited for production drilling where short tool overhang reduces deflection and improves hole location accuracy. The Series 6300 designation places it within OSG high-performance carbide tooling designed for demanding shop-floor and automated machining environments. A two-flute spiral configuration with a tapered web and 2xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports efficient chip removal in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators are the primary installers and users of this tooling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• 140-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and improves self-centering on entry
• R-thinned web minimizes cutting force and heat generation at the tip
• Straight-cylindrical 6.00 mm shank fits standard chucks and collet systems
• Coated finish extends tool life in steel and cast iron production drilling
• Screw machine length geometry provides enhanced stability and reduced deflection

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, alloy steel, and cast iron workpieces. Suitable for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, turret lathes, and automatic screw machines equipped with a 6.00 mm or equivalent straight-shank chuck or collet. Part of the OSG Series 6300 high-performance carbide drill line.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and operated by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the chuck or collet to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth to prevent pullout under load. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are set per the material and diameter being drilled before starting a cut — do not exceed the tool's rated parameters for the workpiece material.
