It measures 31\/64 inches (0.4844 inches) in diameter with a 5-7\/8 inches overall length. The bit is ground from high speed steel and carries a bright, uncoated finish. A 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The parabolic flute geometry promotes chip evacuation, which is critical when drilling deeper holes in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. This is a right-hand cut, two-flute bit suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and mill setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5996950 fits standard jobber-length applications across fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service work. Its straight cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without modification. The 4-3\/8 inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 4-3\/8 inches, making it appropriate for through-holes in medium-thickness stock. Trades that commonly use this bit include pipefitters, HVAC installers, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics drilling mounting holes, conduit knock-outs, or pipe penetrations in ferrous and non-ferrous base metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walk and lowers thrust required at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design improves chip clearing in deep-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web for reduced cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; rated heavy-duty grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in any standard drill press, hand drill, or mill with a chuck capacity accommodating a 31\/64 inch straight shank.

Disconnect power or lock out the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for the workpiece material, as excessive pressure can cause premature tip failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/64 inches (0.4844 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-7\/8 inches (5.875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/8 inches (4.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/8 inches (4.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/64 inches (0.4844 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches (1.500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QC21P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.083 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: 5996950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699935052082,"sku":"5996950","price":44.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14c3de90969c6378087aaa7d157a7434_d351368e-30ce-4bd3-800e-f6e4806dde4c.jpg?v=1788383637","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996950-jobber-drill-bit-31-64","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
