135° NAS-Type Aircraft Extension Drill
This 9/32 inch fractional drill bit features a 135 degree split point designed for precision starts in aircraft-grade materials. The High Speed Steel body with black oxide finish targets machinists and maintenance crews who need reliable hole-making in tough alloys.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
As a hand-tool accessory the bit generates no electrical noise and draws no power of its own; cutting heat is managed by the black oxide coating and proper feed rates during operation. The 28 degree helix angle aids chip evacuation to keep temperatures stable at depth.
Upgrade Path and Value
The design replaces standard jobber-length bits when extra reach is required, offering a 4xD drilling depth of 1 1/8 inch for deeper holes without changing tools. The jump is worth it for repetitive aerospace or structural work where split-point accuracy and extended length reduce cycle time.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 40476 drill bit into my drill chuck, and what step do people get wrong?
Insert the straight shank fully into the chuck jaws and tighten securely; the common mistake is not seating the shank completely, which causes runout and premature wear.
What maintenance or replacement will the 40476 drill bit need later?
The high-speed steel cutting edges dull with use; resharpen the 135-degree split point to the original geometry or replace the bit when sharpening no longer restores cutting performance.
What limit appears first on the 40476 drill bit during sustained drilling?
The maximum drilling depth of 1 1/8 inches is reached before the 4xD length limit, stopping further penetration in a single pass.
