Built to a 1\/4 inch diameter with a straight shank, this bit features a 135-degree split point for fast, self-centering starts without a center punch. The spiral flute geometry and steam oxide finish support chip evacuation and light corrosion resistance during use. With a 2-flute design and 2.5XD cutting depth, this bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a compact, stable drilling platform in tight spaces or on drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stub drill bit is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC drilling setups where reduced deflection is critical. Its shortened flute length of 31 mm and overall length of 70 mm reduce tool overhang and chatter compared to jobber-length bits. It is rated for use on a wide range of materials including aluminum, cast iron, copper, hard materials, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, steel, synthetic materials, and titanium. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch diameter with straight shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction with steam oxide finish for durability and light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub length reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy in short-reach setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral design supports chip clearance across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant channel — suited for dry or externally lubricated drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for drilling aluminum, cast iron, copper, hard materials, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, steel, synthetic materials, and titanium.

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling into finished workpieces. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces with proper clamping. For stainless steel or hard materials, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life even though this bit has no internal coolant channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.25 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31 mm\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: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight, 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5XD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 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: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5968487\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344670720306,"sku":"5968487","price":70.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310537713.jpg?v=1782039838","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5968487-stub-drill-bit-1-4-inch-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
