Built to Series CO501-6 standards and rated to NAS 907 Type J, this bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch, reducing walking and improving hole accuracy. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.18 inches in diameter and accepts standard drill chucks. A straw finish indicates the cobalt content and heat treatment applied during manufacture. This bit is sized to wire gauge 15, with a decimal diameter of 0.180 inches, and is installed by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working on structural or precision drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996151 is suited for aircraft maintenance, general industrial fabrication, and structural metalworking where extended reach and cobalt hardness are required. The 6-inch overall length provides the additional clearance needed to reach recessed or deep-set hole locations that standard-length bits cannot access. Its right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral design provide efficient chip evacuation in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 2.1875-inch flute length supports a 4xD depth-to-diameter ratio, making it appropriate for moderate-depth holes in aerospace-grade and general-purpose metal stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with self-centering geometry reduces drill walking on hard or curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material resists heat and wear when drilling stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach for recessed or obstructed drilling locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNAS 907 Type J compliant for aircraft and aerospace maintenance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw finish coating indicates cobalt heat treatment and provides mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose cobalt extension drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.180-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling stainless steel or other hard alloys to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Allow the bit to cool between extended drilling operations to prevent premature wear to the cobalt cutting edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1800 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: 2.1875 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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1800 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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 Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\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: 0.04167 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: 5996151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708587049266,"sku":"5996151","price":19.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9a3e48cb1baf3e332194f6fb8f7c2a57_607125a0-65fb-435b-8494-32583e79546d.jpg?v=1788447215","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996151-cobalt-aircraft-extension-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
