Precision Twist Drill 5995932 Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5995932 is a wire gauge size 13 jobber-length drill bit manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bronze coating. Designed for general-purpose drilling operations, this bit features a 135-degree split point with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on hard surfaces. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1850 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 3.5 inches. Two spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during right-hand cutting. This bit is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with production drilling applications on metal substrates.

This drill bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium in both shop and field environments. The 2.3125-inch flute length provides adequate depth capacity for most jobber-length applications. The HX10-HX15-HX18 series designation places this bit within a standardized family of high speed steel jobber drills built to ANSI specifications. It is a practical choice for production line work, maintenance repair operations, and toolroom use where consistent hole quality in ferrous and exotic materials is required.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and exotic metal drilling
• 135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and prevents bit walking
• Bronze coating provides lubricity and surface protection during cutting
• Spiral flute design with tapered web configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification
• Built to ANSI standards within the HX10-HX15-HX18 series

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1850-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces as noted in the manufacturer specifications for this series.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a compatible handheld drill, drill press, or CNC spindle. Ensure the chuck is fully secured before operation and confirm spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace when point geometry is degraded.
