It features a 29\/32-inch (0.9062-inch decimal) cutting diameter paired with a 1\/2-inch Weldon shank, allowing use in standard 1\/2-inch chuck machines without requiring a larger chuck capacity. The 118-degree standard point angle provides reliable starting and consistent hole geometry across a wide range of workpiece materials. This bit is part of the Series R57 line and is manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication professionals who need a dependable general-purpose drill bit at a reduced shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, and other machine tool setups where a 1\/2-inch Weldon shank is the standard interface. The Weldon flat shank style provides positive drive and prevents shank slippage under load. With a 3-inch flute length and 6-inch overall length, this bit handles drilling depths up to 3 inches, making it appropriate for medium-depth through-holes and blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is commonly used in industrial maintenance, metal fabrication, and general machining applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e29\/32-inch (0.9062 inch decimal) cutting diameter with a reduced 1\/2-inch Weldon shank for compatibility with standard 1\/2-inch tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides durability in a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute Weldon shank design prevents rotation and slippage in the tool holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without coolant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and machining centers equipped with 1\/2-inch Weldon-style tool holders.
