Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and enables self-centering starts without a center punch. The parabolic flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting resistance. At 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 6.125 inches and a flute length of 3.75 inches, the 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio gives this bit added reach for deeper bore applications while maintaining rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5997217 is suited for production and maintenance drilling in shop, field, and fabrication environments. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Its parabolic flute and web-thinned, tapered web construction make it well matched for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, titanium, magnesium, nickel, hardened steel, tempered steel, and graphite. This is a general-purpose heavy-duty bit commonly used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design promotes fast chip evacuation in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty use across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, straight shank — fits standard drill chucks directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style taper length drill bit conforming to ANSI standards, suitable for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.2344 inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or trained technician. Secure the straight shank fully in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled, and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped before starting.
