0.0465" #56 Hertel Solid Carbide Jobber Drill, 118°, Bright, USA Made | 79891768

This Hertel #56 solid carbide jobber-length drill bit is a USA-made precision drill for rigid drilling setups where accuracy, wear resistance, and clean chip evacuation are important. It has a 0.0465" diameter, 118° standard point, bright finish, right-hand cut, spiral flutes, and a straight shank.

Solid carbide is harder and more wear-resistant than high-speed steel, making this drill suitable for controlled drilling in plastics, wood, aluminum, brass, composites, cast iron, and other appropriate materials. Because carbide is rigid but brittle, it performs best in a drill press, CNC machine, or other stable setup with minimal runout.

Typical Applications

• Precision small-hole drilling
• Controlled drilling in plastics, wood, aluminum, brass, and composites
• Shop, drill press, CNC, and fixture-based drilling setups
• Applications where a USA-made solid carbide drill is preferred over high-speed steel

Benefits

• Solid carbide construction provides high hardness, rigidity, and wear resistance
• Bright finish provides a smooth, polished tool surface for good chip flow in softer materials
• Spiral flute design helps move chips out of the hole during drilling
• 118° standard point is a common general-purpose point angle for many drilling applications
• USA-made Hertel tool for buyers looking for industrial-quality carbide drills
