The 135-degree split-point geometry reduces walking and lowers thrust requirements at entry, making it well suited for production drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the carbide substrate exposed for applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. With an overall length of 2.9134 inches and a flute length of 1.4173 inches, this drill is dimensioned for standard jobber-length reach in CNC machining centers and drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill is designed for cutting aluminum, copper, brass, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and coolant-through capability support chip evacuation in deeper holes, up to a maximum drilling depth of 29 millimeters. The right-hand spiral flute and 3-flat shank provide secure tool holding in collets and chucks that accommodate the 6-millimeter shank diameter. Typical use cases include aerospace component work, job shop production runs, and high-cycle secondary operations where dimensional consistency and low runout matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree point angle reduces entry thrust and minimizes workpiece deformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports chip evacuation and tool life in deeper cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flat shank prevents rotational slippage in collet and chuck holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup risk on close-tolerance holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of 0.0002 to 0.0006 inches for consistent, on-size results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with collets and drill chucks accepting a 6-millimeter, 3-flat shank; compatible with CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses set up for right-hand cutting in aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the 3-flat shank firmly in a matched collet or chuck to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for your toolholder system. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and coolant pressure is appropriate for your machine before starting a cut. Inspection of runout with a dial indicator before production use is standard practice for close-tolerance carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1695 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9134 inches (74.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4173 inches (36.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0002 to 0.0006 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04079 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.35 x 0.31 x 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241634\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5990915\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747008479538,"sku":"5990915","price":253.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c855731e68e5e6ed5a3b9f507bae2fb_8fa49a32-3bc3-4716-9b4f-43bb0047bd3f.jpg?v=1788875294","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-5990915-carbide-jobber-drill-wire-18-135-deg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
