Osg 8704610 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.2402 in Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 8704610 is a solid carbide taper length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built from solid carbide, it delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The bit features a 140-degree split point with X-thinned web geometry that reduces thrust force and improves centering accuracy at entry. An EgiAs coating provides additional lubricity and heat resistance during high-speed cutting operations. At 0.2402 inches (6.10 mm) in diameter with an overall length of 4.92 inches (125.00 mm) and a flute length of 2.64 inches (67.00 mm), this bit is built for deep-hole work at an 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers.

The OSG 8704610 is suited for production machining environments where consistent hole quality and tool life are critical. The right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Coolant-through capability makes it compatible with machine spindles equipped with internal coolant delivery, supporting continuous cutting at higher feed rates without manual lubrication interruption. It is a strong fit for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and multi-axis setups where straight-shank toolholders such as collet chucks or hydraulic chucks are used. The straight shank diameter of 0.315 inches (8.00 mm) suits standard metric toolholding systems.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in high-production drilling
• 140-degree drill point angle with X-thinned web for reduced thrust and accurate self-centering
• EgiAs coating for improved heat resistance and reduced built-up edge
• Coolant-through design compatible with internal coolant spindles
• 8xD flute length ratio supports deep-hole drilling applications
• Right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 6520 taper length drill bit for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses equipped with straight-shank toolholding systems accepting an 8.00 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists following machine shop safety protocols. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the bit from the toolholder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the collet or chuck to the toolholder specification. Verify coolant-through passages are clear before initiating a cutting cycle to prevent thermal damage to the carbide substrate.
