Osg 8696800 Taper Length Drill Bit 8mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 8696800 is a taper length solid carbide drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built to Series 6530 standards, it features an 8 mm diameter with a matching 8 mm straight cylindrical shank and a 140-degree split point geometry. The EgiAs coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat dissipation during high-speed cutting. At 155 mm overall length with a 105 mm flute length, this bit delivers the extended reach required for deeper hole applications. The right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the X-thinned web reduces entry force at the cutting edge. Coolant-through capability supports continuous operation in production environments.

This drill bit is suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual machine tools where consistent hole quality and tool life are priorities. The 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for taper length drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and precision manufacturing professionals in both job shop and production settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance compared to HSS alternatives
• EgiAs coating for extended tool life and reduced friction at the cutting zone
• 140-degree point angle optimized for self-centering and reduced thrust force
• X-thinned web reduces cutting resistance and improves entry performance
• Coolant-through design supports high-feed, deep-hole drilling operations
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes positive chip evacuation from the hole

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling solution for standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet systems accepting 8 mm shank diameters in CNC and manual machining equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist using a properly sized collet, chuck, or tool holder rated for the shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the bit. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and compatible with the machine tool before operating with through-coolant active. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool holding torque and runout tolerances.
