The bit measures 0.2610 inches in diameter and 4.125 inches overall, with a 135-degree split-point geometry and a web-thinned, tapered web construction that reduces walking and lowers thrust on entry. The bronze coating provides lubricity and heat resistance during drilling. Two spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently across a 2.875-inch flute length. This bit is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople who require consistent performance in production or field drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996342 is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium in both shop and on-site environments. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without modification. With a maximum drilling depth of 2.875 inches and a flute-to-diameter ratio of 11xD, the bit handles through-hole and blind-hole work in ferrous and difficult-to-machine alloys. The Series HX10-HX15-HX18 designation places this bit within a defined family of high-speed steel jobber drills built to ANSI standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter G diameter (0.2610 inches) for precise sizing in standard letter-drill applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point with web thinning reduces thrust and improves self-centering on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with bronze coating for improved lubricity and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to ANSI specification for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium (material codes P, M, K, S).

De-energize and lock out any power tool or machine before changing bits. Apply cutting fluid or coolant externally when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Verify chuck capacity accommodates a 0.2610-inch shank before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\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\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\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\u003eDouble Margin\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HX10-HX15-HX18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 5996342\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694414233906,"sku":"5996342","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/164a426c244a50dcd1df57227d075760_c0e0bef5-7678-403e-8f31-aa6136b50bd2.jpg?v=1788324281","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996342-letter-g-hss-jobber-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
