Precision Twist Drill 5995853 Wire 36 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5995853 is a wire gauge size 36 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a bronze coating and features a 135-degree split point with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1065 inches in diameter and fits standard drill chucks. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1.4375-inch flute length, this bit is suited for bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments.

This drill bit is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and metalworkers who require a reliable wire-gauge bit for through-hole drilling and precision-diameter work. The Series HX10-HX15-HX18 designation places it within a family of general-purpose HSS jobber bits built to ANSI standards. It is well suited for drilling steel and harder ferrous alloys where a 135-degree point geometry reduces thrust requirements compared to a conventional 118-degree point.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 36 with 0.1065-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 135-degree split point with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust and self-centering capability
• High speed steel construction with bronze coating for improved lubricity and wear resistance
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation in ferrous materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• ANSI-compliant construction; rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use in drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. Belongs to the PRECISION TWIST DRILL Series HX10-HX15-HX18 family of general-purpose HSS jobber drill bits. Compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1065-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill presses, hand drills, or CNC spindles. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life and manage heat buildup. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 1.4375 inches in a single pass without clearing chips from the flutes.
