Sized at 0.2950 inches in diameter, it is designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments. The 135-degree web-thinned point self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on flat stock. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium in both shop and field settings. It fits standard drill chucks and magnetic drill presses that accept a 0.2950-inch straight cylindrical shank. The 3-1\/16-inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 3.0625 inches, making it practical for drilling through typical structural and plate stock. The bronze coating reduces friction and extends service life in ferrous materials. It is a general-purpose replacement bit for letter-M sizing requirements across a wide range of drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter M diameter: 0.2950 inches for precise fractional-equivalent sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree web-thinned split point self-centers and reduces thrust on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-1\/16-inch flute length allows maximum drilling depth of 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flutes with tapered web for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stocking drill bit for applications requiring a letter-M size in the PRECISION TWIST DRILL HX10, HX15, and HX18 series.

Always match spindle speed to the workpiece material and bit diameter per published HSS cutting-speed tables. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right-Hand Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/16 inches (3.0625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/8 inches (4.375 inches)\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: 0.2950 inches\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\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys and Titanium\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\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: 0.41 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 5996362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721099870514,"sku":"5996362","price":16.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/164a426c244a50dcd1df57227d075760_c267335f-3a3e-42a1-9bb3-e8bbf238833b.jpg?v=1788573514","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996362-letter-m-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
