Built from cobalt tool material, it delivers superior heat resistance and edge retention compared to standard high-speed steel bits. The bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch, a right-hand spiral flute, and a web-thinned tapered web configuration. At 0.1695 inches in diameter (Wire Size 18) with an overall length of 5.75 inches and a flute length of 3.375 inches, this is a heavy-duty bit sized for precision through-hole work in metal fabrication and mechanical trade settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use in metalworking, fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical trade applications. Its cobalt construction makes it appropriate for drilling alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardened steel, carbon steel, brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium, nickel, nickel alloy, high-strength bronze, malleable iron, cermet, graphite, reinforced plastic materials, and magnesium alloy. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks on corded drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point enables self-centering entry, reducing walk on hard surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves drilling performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body provides added rigidity for deeper hole applications versus jobber length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks.

Power down and lock out all equipment before bit changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, hardened steel, or other abrasive materials to preserve cutting edge life. Ensure workpiece is firmly clamped before drilling to prevent bit deflection or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1695 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.75 inches\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: 0.1695 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M52CO\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: 5996427\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695452062002,"sku":"5996427","price":35.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4685106e62ec86928ee40045de795dcc_81bde088-7bc2-4c48-ba42-adc074374540.jpg?v=1788335208","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996427-taper-length-cobalt-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
