Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a steam oxide finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point for accurate, self-centering entry and reduced walking on contact. The straight shank and 2-flute spiral design support clean chip evacuation in both ferrous and non-ferrous applications. With a 1\/8 inch diameter and an overall length of 49 mm, it is sized for compact, controlled drilling where standard-length bits would be too flexible or unwieldy. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals will find this bit suited to production and repair work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stub drill bit is applicable across a broad material range including aluminum, cast iron, copper, stainless steel, steel, magnesium, nickel, titanium, hard materials, and synthetic materials. Its short flute length of 18 mm and 2.5XD cutting depth make it well suited for rigid setups in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held drilling applications where minimal deflection is critical. The steam oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for accurate, self-centering starts with minimal thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide finish reduces friction and light surface corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort stub length minimizes deflection in tight or deep-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant channel — suited for dry or externally lubricated drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a short-length stub drill bit compatible with standard 1\/8 inch straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, CNC machines, and portable drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and bit changes should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the chuck key removed from the area. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck to the full depth of the jaws to prevent slippage and runout. This bit is intended for right-hand rotation only — verify spindle direction before operation. When drilling hard or abrasive materials, apply cutting fluid externally as needed; no internal coolant channel is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight, 1\/8 inch\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\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\u003eApplicable Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Iron, Copper, Hard Material, Magnesium, Nickel, Stainless Steel, Steel, Synthetic Material, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0661 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: 5968494\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347360973106,"sku":"5968494","price":32.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310538664.jpg?v=1782102624","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5968494-stub-drill-bit-1-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
