Osg 8696900 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.3543 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 8696900 is a taper length, solid carbide drill bit designed for precision hole-making in demanding machining applications. It features a 140-degree split point with X-thinning to reduce thrust and improve centering on entry. The straight shank measures 9.00 mm (0.3543 inches) in diameter, and the flute length delivers an 8xD reach — suited for deeper holes without a specialty extension. EgiAs coating provides surface hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This bit ships individually and weighs 0.21 pounds.

The OSG 8696900 fits production drilling environments where material removal consistency and hole quality are critical. The right-hand spiral flute and coolant-through design make it well-suited for CNC machining centers running internal coolant. At an 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio, it handles deeper bores that standard jobber-length bits cannot reach. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this series in high-feed, high-accuracy operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. Series 6530 identifies it within the OSG taper length carbide drill lineup.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and heat resistance in high-speed cutting
• 140-degree drill point angle with X-thinning reduces entry thrust and improves self-centering
• EgiAs coating extends cutting edge life in ferrous and abrasive materials
• Coolant-through design delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone
• 8xD flute length enables deeper bores compared to standard jobber-length drills
• Right-hand spiral flute with straight shank for compatibility with standard collets and chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and production drill bit for CNC machining centers and drill presses equipped with standard straight-shank toolholders, collet chucks, or drill chucks accepting a 9.00 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Secure the straight shank fully in a collet or drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate match the workpiece material and coolant-through pressure requirements before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for wear or chipping before each use; a damaged carbide tip should not be run.
