Built with a 135-degree split point, it starts on contact without walking, reducing the need for a center punch on most surfaces. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. At 0.096 inches in diameter and 2.375 inches overall length, this bit is suited for close-tolerance work where a shorter, stiffer geometry is preferred over a jobber-length bit. The oxide finish provides a base level of lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. Right-hand cut with spiral flutes and a web-thinned construction, this bit is sized for production and maintenance drilling tasks handled by machinists and metalworking technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. The mechanics length — shorter than a standard jobber bit — improves rigidity in tight clearance areas such as engine bays, equipment frames, and structural assemblies. It is a practical choice for bench drilling, hand drill use, and drill press operations where a compact profile matters. General-purpose performance makes it appropriate for maintenance shops, fabrication benches, and field service kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point starts on contact and reduces bit walking on metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length at 2.375 inches OAL provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, parallel web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without a reducer or adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish offers light corrosion protection and reduced friction during entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks, suitable for use in drill presses, hand drills, and bench-mounted drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers using standard drilling equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the split point or cutting lips show chipping or dulling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.096 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, High Alloy Steel, High Tensile Strength Alloy, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20841\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701017313586,"sku":"20841","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e9a950d560b22459c9c6fee0491651d2.jpg?v=1788396828","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-20841-mechanics-drill-bit-0-096-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
