Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a gold oxide coating, it offers increased surface hardness and reduced friction during cutting. The bit features a 118-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing walking on flat surfaces without the need for a center punch. At 4.5 inches overall length with a 3.1875-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and drill presses used across trade and shop applications. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance techs keep this size on hand as a daily workhorse bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22441 is suited for drilling 5\/16-inch holes in mild steel, aluminum, copper pipe, conduit, sheet metal, and similar materials in both shop and field conditions. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in 3-jaw drill chucks without slipping under moderate feed pressure. Its right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup during repeated drilling operations. Trades that regularly drill through box knockouts, brackets, strut, and structural steel will find this a standard go-to size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across a range of base materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold oxide coating reduces friction and extends cutting life compared to uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree split point promotes self-centering and reduces drill walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration lowers thrust force required at the cutting tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute provides reliable chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock bit for any standard drill chuck or drill press accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 5\/16-inch diameter class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify tightness with a chuck key where applicable. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece with a clamp or vise before drilling. Dispose of worn bits properly as HSS tips remain sharp even when dull for cutting purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 314\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22441\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690586210610,"sku":"22441","price":39.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f4a06649069f8a00a9e5a881bafeb6c4.jpg?v=1788272163","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-22441-5-16-inch-hss-jobber-length-drill-bit-118-degree","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
