Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a steam oxide finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The straight shank and compact 79 mm overall length make it well suited for applications where clearance is limited or where a standard jobber-length bit would be too long. Two spiral flutes provide efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stub drill bit is used in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The 5\/16 inch diameter and 37 mm flute length with a 2.5XD cutting depth rating make it appropriate for moderate-depth holes in production and repair settings. Rated for use in aluminum, cast iron, copper, hard materials, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, steel, synthetic materials, and titanium, it covers the material range common to machine shops, industrial maintenance crews, and trade professionals working with mixed-metal assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and improves positioning accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides heat and wear resistance across hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide finish improves lubricity and corrosion resistance during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort stub length suits confined spaces and low-clearance drilling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo spiral flutes promote chip removal and reduce heat buildup in the cut zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant channel — suitable for dry or externally lubricated drilling only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use stub drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks and drill presses accepting a 5\/16 inch shank.

Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning the cut. Apply cutting fluid externally when drilling stainless steel, titanium, or other hard materials to manage heat and extend tool life. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for the material being drilled, as this bit does not include an internal coolant channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter (Fraction)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5XD\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 Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\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 Edge Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\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\u003eCoolant Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.595 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pack (Min Qty 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 5968496\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345383227698,"sku":"5968496","price":85.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310538663.jpg?v=1782056567","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5968496-stub-drill-bit-5-16-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
