Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a purple\/bronze coating, this bit measures 11\/32 inch (0.3438 inch) in diameter with a 4-3\/4 inch overall length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and cutting pressure at the tip, making it well suited for production drilling in harder materials. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration further reduces thrust force during entry. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working across industrial and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996356 is intended for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It performs in both handheld drill applications and drill press setups where consistent hole quality is required. With a 10xD flute-to-diameter ratio and a 3-7\/16 inch flute length, it provides adequate chip evacuation across typical material thicknesses encountered in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, and mechanical service work. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and hard alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurple\/bronze coating provides lubricity and surface hardness for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards for jobber length drill bit geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Series HX10-HX15-HX18 line.

Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, cast iron, or titanium to manage heat. Inspect the cutting edge for wear before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed. Follow applicable shop safety and PPE requirements when operating rotary cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/32 inch (0.3438 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/4 inches (4.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-7\/16 inches (3.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-7\/16 inches (3.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/32 inch (0.3438 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/16 inches (1.3125 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\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\/Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, 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: 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: 5996356\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692801753394,"sku":"5996356","price":65.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/22d40e0231bee961ad9abb3fc69dcca9_b038bec4-789d-45c2-bd4e-77044ab62c37.jpg?v=1788303133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996356-jobber-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
