It features a 145-degree notched point angle that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation on entry. The AlTiN coating — marketed as Ti-NAMITE-A — provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in abrasive and hard alloy applications. At 3.5 inches overall length, this short-series bit delivers rigidity and reduced runout in production drilling setups. It is typically installed in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and screw machine applications by machinists and tool-room technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling alloy steels and titanium alloys where heat generation and tool wear are primary concerns. The screw machine length format makes it a fit for close-clearance fixtures and high-cycle production environments. The 145-degree split point and web-thinned, tapered web geometry reduce walking on entry without requiring a pilot hole in most setups. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks and collet holders sized for the 0.3750-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN (Ti-NAMITE-A) coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in alloy steel and titanium applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e145-degree notched point angle reduces entry thrust and minimizes workpiece walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers cutting forces and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (3xD flute-to-diameter ratio) delivers short, stiff geometry for accurate hole placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard CNC and manual drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and screw machine setups accepting a 0.3750-inch straight shank.

Secure the straight shank fully within the chuck or collet to the recommended grip depth before operation. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chipping or wear before each use, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to damage from side loading or interrupted cuts. Consult applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and coolant practices appropriate to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3680 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN (Ti-NAMITE-A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8438 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Notched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute By Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Margins\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00024 to +0.00083 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51354\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734981935410,"sku":"51354","price":311.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1f76b44f7e34536204d68c01d9f26669_f26fd1c3-6adb-4893-bbe9-e226c07d4045.jpg?v=1788768866","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-51354-screw-machine-drill-bit-letter-u-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
