Sgs 51062 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit Wire 62

Product Description

The SGS 51062 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit sized at wire gauge 62 (0.0380 inches diameter) with a 118-degree faceted point angle. Built from micrograin solid carbide and left in a bright, uncoated finish, this bit delivers precise, consistent hole geometry in demanding materials. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces entry force and helps control walking at the point. Overall length is 1-3/8 inches, with a 5/8-inch flute length and a 2-flute regular spiral configuration. Maximum drilling depth is 0.500 inches. Diameter tolerance is held to -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches for tight, repeatable fitment in precision work.

This bit is designed for drilling composite materials and similar applications where carbide hardness and micro-level dimensional accuracy are required. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard collet chucks and drill press fixtures without modification. It suits precision manufacturing, aerospace component work, and instrumentation assembly where small-diameter, close-tolerance holes are critical. The Series 101 designation follows DIN 338 jobber-length standards, making it a familiar format for machinists and tool-room technicians working to metric or inch specifications.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life in abrasive and composite materials
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning reduces thrust and improves hole entry accuracy
• Bright, uncoated finish suited to dry or minimally lubricated drilling in composites
• Regular 2-flute spiral geometry promotes chip evacuation in shallow-depth applications
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches meets close-tolerance hole requirements
• DIN 338-compliant jobber length for compatibility with standard toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber-length drill bit conforming to DIN 338 standards. Fits standard straight-shank collet chucks, drill press chucks, and CNC toolholders accepting a 0.0380-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists, tool-room technicians, or precision manufacturing personnel using standard drill press or CNC equipment. Secure the straight shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation to prevent runout. When drilling composites, use appropriate chip-clearing intervals and verify spindle speed against manufacturer feed-and-speed charts for carbide tooling. Carbide bits are brittle -- avoid side loading or using them as a lever, as this can cause chipping or fracture.
