It measures 0.1590 inches in diameter and 3.25 inches overall, with a 2.125-inch spiral flute length. The 135-degree split-point geometry reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. The bright, uncoated high speed steel construction is suited for shops where bit regrinding is routine. Two regular spiral flutes provide chip evacuation in typical through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit fits production and maintenance drilling applications across metalworking, fabrication, and general mechanical trades. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks found on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups. The QC21P series targets heavy-duty general-purpose use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Maximum drilling depth is 2.125 inches, making it appropriate for through-hole work in stock up to that depth without pecking cycles on most setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree web-thinned point reduces thrust and minimizes bit walk on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction supports regrinding for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish compatible with standard cutting fluids and oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with tapered web for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-specification geometry ensures dimensional interchangeability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium.

Apply a suitable cutting fluid or oil when drilling steel, stainless steel, or titanium to extend edge life and improve hole finish. Reduce spindle speed and increase feed pressure gradually when drilling hard materials or superalloys. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and regrind or replace the bit if chipping or wear is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1590 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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\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\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1590 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute-to-Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit 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\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QC21P\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: 0.04167 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: 5996982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716310663474,"sku":"5996982","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14c3de90969c6378087aaa7d157a7434_5ee53a0f-b850-40d9-8496-7d9529190879.jpg?v=1788524193","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996982-no-21-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
