Built to the M51CO series standard, it features a 37\/64 inch (0.5781 inch) diameter, a 135-degree notched split point for self-centering starts, and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The cobalt tool material provides heat resistance and edge retention beyond standard high-speed steel, making it suitable for production drilling environments. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install this bit when working with difficult-to-machine materials that generate high cutting temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996288 is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, nickel, nickel alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, brass, bronze, high-strength bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloys, cermet, graphite, and reinforced plastics. Its taper length body and 6xD flute-length-to-diameter ratio provide additional reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for deeper hole applications in both manual and CNC machine setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material for superior heat resistance and durability in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree notched split point enables self-centering starts without a center punch on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body with 6xD flute ratio provides greater reach than standard jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; heavy-duty grade construction for continuous production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.5781 inch straight shank.
