Ground with a 135-degree split-point angle and a web-thinned tip, it starts on contact without a center punch and cuts through material with less thrust than a conventional 118-degree point. The regular spiral flute measures 2.125 inches in length, and the overall length is 3.25 inches. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose drilling across a broad range of materials. This bit belongs to Precision Twist Drill Series QC21P and meets ANSI standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks on portable drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 13xD and a maximum drilling depth of 2.125 inches, it performs reliably in through-hole and blind-hole operations encountered in fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 20 wire size, 0.1610-inch diameter — straight cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning for self-centering starts and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance for general-purpose metalworking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — compatible with most cutting fluids and oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI standards; Series QC21P general-purpose grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous workpiece materials; fits any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1610-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this bit is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or oil when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show visible wear or chipping to avoid oversize holes or workpiece damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\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: 13xD\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\u003eTool Performance Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 5996980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696509583666,"sku":"5996980","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14c3de90969c6378087aaa7d157a7434_e10c7ff8-8f70-45bd-b4b1-a2cfa172d128.jpg?v=1788343390","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996980-no-20-hss-jobber-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
