It carries a wire gauge size of #10 (0.1935 inches diameter) and an overall length of 6 inches, with a 3-5\/8 inch spiral flute length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows self-centering entry without a center punch. The cobalt tool material provides elevated heat resistance, making it appropriate for drilling hard, abrasive, or work-hardening materials. This bit is used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and fabricators who require consistent, repeatable hole quality in production settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996404 is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials across a wide range of applications. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, high strength bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, cermet, and graphite. The taper length body provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in deeper-hole applications. The right-hand, regular spiral flute configuration handles chip evacuation effectively in both manual and machine drilling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge #10 diameter at 0.1935 inches suits close-tolerance hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material rated for heavy-duty drilling in hard and work-hardening materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point design is self-centering and reduces thrust requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length at 6 inches OAL with 3-5\/8 inch flute length provides reach without excessive flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank compatible with standard drill chucks; right-hand cut for conventional drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; Series M52CO heavy-duty classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1935 inch straight shank.

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance mechanic should select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the specific workpiece material to avoid overheating the cutting edge. Do not apply excessive downward force; let the split point geometry and proper feed rate do the work. Eye protection and chip guards are required per standard shop safety practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: #10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\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: Split\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length x Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded Shank\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M52CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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: 0.042 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: 5996404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700481163570,"sku":"5996404","price":38.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4685106e62ec86928ee40045de795dcc_833313c6-43fb-4cf5-976a-2761ba381426.jpg?v=1788390886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996404-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
