Built to Series M52CO standards, it carries a No. 2 wire gauge size (0.2210 inches decimal), a 135-degree split point for self-centering starts, and a gold oxide finish applied over cobalt tool steel. The straight cylindrical shank and spiral flute geometry provide reliable chip evacuation, while the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust during entry. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals select this bit when standard HSS tooling falls short on harder or abrasive workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, hardened steel, brass, bronze, high-strength bronze, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, cermet, graphite, and reinforced plastic. Its taper length body, longer than a jobber-length bit, provides additional reach for deeper holes in structural components, fixtures, and production setups where a jobber length would not clear the workpiece or fixture geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch on most metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool steel construction rated for heavy-duty use on hardened and high-strength alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold oxide finish reduces friction and provides light lubricity at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers drilling thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for efficient chip removal in deep cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\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 for any drill press, CNC machining center, or hand drill with a standard straight-shank chuck accepting a 0.2210-inch shank diameter, conforming to ANSI standards for taper length drill bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the chuck and verify zero runout before cutting, as cobalt bits are more brittle than HSS and can fracture under lateral load. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life, particularly when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloys. Follow shop-specific lockout procedures when mounting bits in drill press or CNC spindles. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — cobalt bits should be resharpened on a dedicated drill grinder rather than discarded at first dullness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: M52CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2210 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\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches (3-3\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.125 inches (6-1\/8 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: 0.2210 inches\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 to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\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, Web-Thinned\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\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-Centering\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 5996437\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714374369586,"sku":"5996437","price":40.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4685106e62ec86928ee40045de795dcc_a46f2cf8-29fc-491f-8f14-e9c6d151f11a.jpg?v=1788500473","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996437-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
