Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 135-degree split point and a parabolic spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation and reduced walking on entry. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1-7\/16-inch flute, this bit is sized for general-purpose drilling tasks in a wide range of materials. It is web-thinned for improved feed force and follows ANSI standards for dimensional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The QC21P series targets heavy-duty general-purpose applications where consistent hole quality in tough workpiece materials is required. Typical use cases include production drilling, maintenance and repair operations, and fabrication work performed by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC or mechanical contractors who need reliable small-diameter drilling in metal stock or structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 38 — 0.1015-inch diameter for precise small-bore drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers required feed force on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic spiral flute promotes fast chip removal and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web geometry improves cutting efficiency on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant dimensions ensure compatibility with standard toolholding equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length replacement drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1015-inch straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or trade professionals using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck on a drill press, hand drill, or CNC machine. Secure the shank fully into the chuck before operating and verify runout is within acceptable limits before production use. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life, even though this bit is not designed for coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised.\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: 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 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\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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 (Parabolic)\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose \/ Heavy Duty\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\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 5996993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693318406450,"sku":"5996993","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14c3de90969c6378087aaa7d157a7434_818f7229-dd5a-44fc-8d52-92b18b925a71.jpg?v=1788310557","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996993-wire-38-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
