Screw Machine Drill Bit 25/64 in
This Chicago-Latrobe screw machine drill bit measures 25/64 in with a 118-degree conventional point. It is made from high-speed steel with a TiN coating and features a right-hand cutting direction. The decimal equivalent is .3906. It suits general-purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or job site.
High Speed Steel with TiN Coating
The high-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal cutting. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life during repetitive drilling. A non-coolant-through design means the bit relies on external lubrication or air cooling. These attributes support consistent performance in screw machine operations.
Right Hand Cutting and 118 Degree Point
The 118-degree conventional point centres quickly without a pilot hole. Right-hand cutting matches standard drill motor rotation for immediate use. The straight shank fits common chucks and collets used in screw machines. No coolant-through channel simplifies setup for dry or flood-cooled applications.

Questions about this item
When will the 118-degree tip on the 25/64 bit need resharpening?
Resharpen the high-speed steel tip when cutting edges dull or chip; frequency depends on material hardness and feed rate.
What limits continuous drilling with the TiN-coated 25/64 bit?
Heat buildup in the workpiece and bit is the first limit; use peck drilling and cutting fluid to extend run time.
How much heat and noise does the 25/64 right-hand bit produce in all-day use?
Expect typical high-speed steel drill noise and heat; TiN coating reduces friction, but sustained loads raise tip temperature.
