Precision Twist Drill 5995804 No. 24 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5995804 is a No. 24 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and hard materials. It is manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bronze coating and features a 135-degree split-point angle with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.152 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 3.125 inches with a 2-inch flute length. This bit is suited for use in standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators.

The 5995804 is built for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It fits production and job-shop environments where consistent hole quality in ferrous and difficult materials is required. The 2-flute spiral design with a regular helix provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. The bronze coating reduces friction and helps extend tool life in repetitive drilling applications. It ships individually and is available in single-unit quantities.

Key Features

• No. 24 wire size, 0.152-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and eliminates center punch requirement on most metals
• M2 high speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance in ferrous materials
• Bronze coating reduces friction and extends tool life in high-cycle drilling
• 2-flute regular spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use across workpiece materials coded P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), and S (superalloys and titanium) per ISO material classification. Fits any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.152-inch straight shank. Part of the Series HX10-HX15-HX18 product family from PRECISION TWIST DRILL.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals. Secure the shank firmly in a drill chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits to avoid premature wear. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material, particularly when drilling stainless steel or titanium. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace when chipping or dulling is observed to maintain hole quality and dimensional accuracy.
