Built from uncoated bright-finish high-speed steel, this bit features a 5\/16 inch diameter, a 135-degree split-point tip for self-centering starts without a center punch, and a parabolic flute geometry that promotes aggressive chip evacuation. The 12-inch overall length with a 9-inch flute length makes it well suited for reaching into deep cavities, extended fixtures, or cross-member drilling where standard-length bits fall short. Licensed tradespeople and precision machinists both rely on bits in this class for consistent performance across tough substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extra length bit is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance operations where standard drill bit reach is insufficient. The parabolic flute and web-thinned, tapered web construction reduce thrust and heat buildup when drilling carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, structural steel, hardened steel, and tempered steel. It also performs well in aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, magnesium, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel, thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, and graphite. The right-hand cutting direction suits conventional drill press and handheld drill operation. The Series QC1290P designation identifies this as a 10xD flute-to-diameter ratio design built to ANSI standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point tip for self-centering entry without a pilot hole or center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute geometry for fast, efficient chip removal in deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and lowers required thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch overall length with 9-inch flute length for extended reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated high-speed steel construction compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank for standard drill chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting a 5\/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to manage heat and extend tool life. For deep-hole passes, retract the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent flute packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split-Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QC1290P\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: 0.2 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: 5996451\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694288208178,"sku":"5996451","price":80.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/335feb05ca6eae9af4b3a42d71353bfe.jpg?v=1788322656","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996451-extra-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
