Built from high speed steel with a bronze bright coating, the bit features a 135-degree split point and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves centering on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.125 inches in diameter, matching the 1\/8 inch drill diameter. Overall length is 2.75 inches with a flute length of 1.625 inches, making it suited for standard-depth through-hole and blind-hole work in shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is part of the PRECISION TWIST DRILL HX10-HX15-HX18 series and is built for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It is a common choice for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors drilling sheet metal, structural steel, and pipe hangers. The 2-flute spiral geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling. No coolant-through capability is present, so external lubrication or cutting fluid is recommended when drilling harder alloys or stainless steel to extend tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers drilling thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web improves penetration in hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBronze bright coating provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute regular spiral geometry promotes clean chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck or keyed chuck accepting a 1\/8 inch straight shank.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. When working with stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium, apply cutting fluid to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and workpiece fixturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 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, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HX10-HX15-HX18\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: 1 pound\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: 5996326\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715951919410,"sku":"5996326","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/22d40e0231bee961ad9abb3fc69dcca9_1315d557-d1c6-44d5-b1a2-fc0795ef08b5.jpg?v=1788520158","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996326-jobber-drill-bit-1-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
