Built to ANSI standards and manufactured from M41 cobalt high-speed steel, this bit delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. It features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure at the start of the cut. The straight cylindrical shank and stub-length body make it well-suited for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and screw machine applications where rigidity and precision are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is rated for use on hard workpiece materials including hardened steels, stainless alloys, and similarly demanding stock. The screw machine length format — shorter than a jobber bit — provides added rigidity and reduced deflection, which is critical when holding tight tolerances in production or repetitive drilling operations. The 2.5xD flute-to-diameter ratio promotes efficient chip evacuation. This bit ships individually and is appropriate for machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working in industrial and manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM41 cobalt high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers entry feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration improves cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection versus jobber length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral and straight cylindrical shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI specification standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production drill bit for use in screw machines, drill presses, and CNC equipment requiring a wire size 16 (0.1770 inch) straight-shank drill in the M41CO series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians following standard lockout\/tagout procedures before changing tooling in any powered equipment. Ensure the chuck or collet is properly cleaned and the shank is fully seated before operation. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant where required by the application, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches (2-3\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches (1-1\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M41 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M41CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\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: 5996050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722906861874,"sku":"5996050","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa2be07eba6984ccd5f161f94448d961_e86e995d-ca5f-4604-8694-20ba8c578ab8.jpg?v=1788597700","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996050-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
