Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 0.18 inch diameter, a standard 118-degree point angle, and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance at the tip, making it well suited for production drilling where tool life and hole quality matter. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this bit type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized at 0.18 inches (wire size number 15) and falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range of the Series R41 lineup. The screw machine length format — shorter than jobber-length bits — provides added rigidity and reduced deflection, making it appropriate for drill press work, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes in both job shops and production environments. The primary listed workpiece material is titanium, though the bit is suited to a range of metals requiring a general-purpose HSS cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces entry force and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length provides superior rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes effective chip clearing during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; Series R41 designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series R41 screw machine length HSS drill bit with a straight-cylindrical shank, compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting 0.18 inch straight shanks.
