It measures 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch decimal) in diameter with a 2-1\/2 inch overall length and a 1-7\/16 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust required to start a hole, making it well suited for hand-held and bench-drill work in production and service environments. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without modification. An oxide finish provides a degree of surface hardness and lubricity for extended service life in repetitive drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloys, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The mechanics-length body — shorter than a jobber-length bit — gives added rigidity and reduced deflection when clearance is limited, such as in tight engine bays, panel work, or mechanical assemblies. It is a standard tool for HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general mechanics who need reliable metal drilling performance in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and lowers feed pressure on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge integrity across carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length (2-1\/2 inch OAL) provides added rigidity and suits confined-space applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating adds surface lubricity and corrosion resistance for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stocking drill bit for use with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Always power down or de-energize any drill press before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to reduce heat and extend bit life. Eye protection is required during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-7\/16 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\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\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 (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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241634\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: 20904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690244899122,"sku":"20904","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f92e1aaa401f70f648174153e131062e.jpg?v=1788267581","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-20904-mechanics-drill-bit-1-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
