Built to Series CO501-6 specifications, it carries a wire gauge size of No. 40 with a decimal diameter of 0.098 inches and a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch. The straw finish indicates a heat-treated cobalt steel construction suited for tough alloys. At 6 inches overall length with a 1.375-inch flute, this extended-reach bit gives technicians and machinists access to recessed or hard-to-reach hole locations in sheet metal, aerospace structures, and similar assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for professional use in aerospace, aviation maintenance, HVAC fabrication, electrical rough-in, and general metalworking applications where an extended reach is required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and drill motors without special adapters. Its two-flute right-hand spiral design clears chips efficiently in through-hole and blind-hole work. The self-centering split point and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce thrust force and walking on entry, making it well suited for hand-held drill motor use on structural panels or enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool steel construction handles hard alloys, stainless steel, and heat-resistant materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning self-centers and reduces entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach into recessed or confined workspaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw finish indicates heat-treated cobalt steel for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.098 inches fits standard chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type J standards for aerospace and precision drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cobalt extension drill bit for applications requiring a No. 40 wire gauge hole diameter in accordance with NAS 907 Type J standards.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed prior to starting the tool. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard alloys to preserve bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow applicable facility safety protocols and wear appropriate eye protection during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 inches\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: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: CO501-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 5996086\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716584571186,"sku":"5996086","price":15.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9a3e48cb1baf3e332194f6fb8f7c2a57_83177a43-2508-47c0-b84e-8ffb0fd97695.jpg?v=1788528360","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996086-cobalt-drill-bit-no-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
