Precision Twist Drill 5995605 1/32 Inch Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5995605 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. It measures 1/32 inch (0.0312 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1.375 inches and a flute length of 0.5 inches. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a bright uncoated HSS construction, and a left-hand cutting direction. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces entry resistance and improves chip clearance. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with steel and cast iron substrates.

This drill bit is suited for drilling operations in steel and cast iron in both shop and field environments. The straight shank accommodates standard drill chucks. The left-hand cutting direction makes it particularly useful for removing broken fasteners and reverse-threaded applications. The regular spiral flute geometry and 16xD flute-to-diameter ratio support consistent chip evacuation at small diameters. It conforms to ANSI standards and carries a Series L10 designation from the manufacturer.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard jobber-length drill bit for use in straight-shank drill chucks rated for 1/32 inch diameter tooling. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople using a keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 0.5 inches per pass without retracting to clear chips. Appropriate eye protection and workpiece clamping are required when drilling small-diameter holes in metal.
