Precision Twist Drill 5996795 5/32 in Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5996795 is a 5/32-inch high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires less thrust than a standard 118-degree point, making it well suited for production and maintenance drilling. The bright, uncoated finish provides a smooth cutting surface. With an overall length of 3.125 inches and a 2-inch spiral flute, this bit is built to the ANSI standard and carries a heavy-duty grade designation within the QC21P series.

This jobber drill is intended for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks found on handheld drills, drill presses, and machining centers. Right-hand cutting direction and a regular spiral flute make this a conventional, versatile drill bit appropriate for both shop and field use by machinists, maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians who need a reliable general-purpose bit.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using a standard drill chuck. Ensure the drill press or handheld drill is fully powered down and the chuck key is removed before changing bits. Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws and confirm concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life.
