Built to the QC91P series standard, it features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch, reducing walk and improving hole accuracy. The parabolic flute geometry with a 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio promotes rapid chip evacuation, keeping the cutting zone clear during deeper passes. At 0.1990 inches in diameter (wire size 8) with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit suits applications where coating is not required and where frequent resharpening is anticipated. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals handling structural or mechanical assemblies are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, hardened steel, tempered steel, and titanium alloys, as well as non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, and graphite. Its taper length body and parabolic flute design make it a practical choice for production drilling, maintenance repair operations, and fabrication environments where chip clearance and hole consistency are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute with 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank with 0.1990-inch shank diameter fits standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish allows easy inspection and straightforward resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks and drilling equipment accepting a 0.1990-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade technicians familiar with metalworking equipment. Secure the workpiece and ensure the drill chuck is properly tightened before operation. Power down and de-energize all drilling equipment before changing bits. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed rates for the material being drilled, and use appropriate cutting fluid when working with ferrous metals or stainless steel to extend tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QC91P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1990 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1990 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length x Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-Centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose, Heavy-Duty Grade\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: 0.042 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: 5997181\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711328092466,"sku":"5997181","price":36.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/493f31ed2c78d8c96911c7c32cd9970a_8350fd78-0b72-4218-a4b1-f6ebb4a4fee4.jpg?v=1788475727","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997181-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
