Built from M2 high-speed steel with a straw (bronze) coating, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cuts through material with less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. The web-thinned, tapered-web construction reduces thrust load at the center of the bit. At 5.25 inches overall length with a 3.875-inch flute, this is a general-purpose heavy-duty tool suited for machinists, maintenance techs, and fabricators working across a range of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for use in high-temperature alloys and carries primary workpiece material codes P, M, K, and S, covering steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and heat-resistant superalloys. The right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in these materials. It is a straight-shank, two-flute configuration compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems, making it practical for both bench drill presses and hand-held power tools in shop and field settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter Y size — 0.404 inches decimal diameter for close-tolerance hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high-speed steel construction with straw bronze coating for heat resistance and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered-web design reduces drilling thrust at center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, right-hand flute geometry for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for high-temperature alloy workpieces including steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the HX10-HX15-HX18 series.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before use and confirm the bit runs true before cutting. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent movement during drilling. Allow the bit to cool between heavy cuts when drilling hard or heat-sensitive alloys to preserve the cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Letter Y (0.4040 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw (Bronze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\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: Regular Spiral, Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Temp Alloy (P, M, K, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HX10-HX15-HX18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 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: 5995837\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701933179186,"sku":"5995837","price":27.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/164a426c244a50dcd1df57227d075760_6a173441-b8b3-49b9-9c8b-6720b687e7da.jpg?v=1788407075","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5995837-letter-y-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
