It carries a 135-degree split-point angle with web thinning, which reduces walking on entry and lowers the thrust needed to start a hole. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where lubrication is applied externally. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 1.25-inch flute, this compact drill is well suited to tight-clearance work. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1875 inches in diameter, fitting standard chucks and collets. This is a production-grade tool from the QC21P series, intended for installation by machinists, pipefitters, and HVAC or electrical tradespeople who need consistent hole quality in small-diameter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5997170 is rated for drilling steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, covering ISO material codes P, M, K, N, and S. It is well matched to hand-drill, drill press, and CNC drilling applications where a 0.0890-inch diameter hole is required. The 14xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral flute design support efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications. Each unit is sold individually, though the minimum order quantity is 12 pieces, making it practical for tool-crib restocking or production line supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 43 wire gauge diameter: 0.0890 inches for precision small-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree point angle with web thinning reduces walking and lowers entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish compatible with external cutting fluids and lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, two-flute design promotes clean chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill for use in standard three-jaw chucks, keyless chucks, and collet holders accepting a 0.1875-inch straight shank.

Power down or de-energize the drill press or hand tool before changing bits. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Dispose of worn bits according to shop safety protocols, as broken small-diameter drills present a puncture hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0890 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 (HSS)\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: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 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: Regular 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Margin\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\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\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: 5997170\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712548700466,"sku":"5997170","price":71.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14c3de90969c6378087aaa7d157a7434_80e5a326-faa3-424e-827d-cdd7c8656fb2.jpg?v=1788486612","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997170-no-43-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
