Manufactured from high speed steel with a steam oxide coating, this bit measures 3.125 inches overall length with a 2-inch spiral flute and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.154 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web construction support accurate starting and efficient chip evacuation. Licensed trades and experienced machinists reach for this style of bit when drilling at moderate depths in production or service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium in both shop and field applications. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard drill press and handheld drill driver setups. It fits into the Series R10, R15, and R18 family, covering the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal inch size range. Typical use cases include sheet metal work, fabrication, and mechanical assembly where a No 23 wire gauge diameter is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo 23 wire gauge size — 0.154 inches decimal equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for accurate entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with steam oxide coating for lubricity and mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch flute length supports drilling to 2 inches maximum depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks — no flats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI standard construction, general purpose grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general purpose jobber length drill bit in the PRECISION TWIST DRILL Series R10, R15, and R18 for applications requiring a No 23 wire gauge diameter across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using a standard drill press or portable drill with a keyed or keyless chuck sized for a 0.154-inch shank.
