The Hertel Screw Machine Length Drill Bit delivers precision and durability for your metalworking projects. This 1/2" (0.5000) diameter bit features a 135-degree split point design that reduces thrust and prevents walking when starting holes.

The 3-3/4" overall length with a 2-1/4" flute length makes it ideal for production drilling applications where shorter bits are preferred. Its regular spiral flute and right-hand cut design ensure efficient chip evacuation and clean holes. This straight shank drill bit from Hertel is manufactured by MSC Industrial to provide consistent performance in demanding applications. Perfect for professional machinists and fabricators who require reliable tools for precision drilling operations.
