It features a 135-degree split point with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on entry. The straw oxide finish provides light lubricity and heat resistance during drilling operations. With an overall length of 3.375 inches and a flute length of 2.1875 inches, this bit is sized for standard jobber-length applications. It is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals drilling into steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling in steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and certain plastics and composites, as indicated by workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks found on handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. The regular spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently in through-hole and moderate-depth drilling applications. Maximum recommended drilling depth matches the flute length at 2.1875 inches. The series designation R10CO-R15CO-R18CO places this bit in Precision Twist Drill's heavy-duty cobalt jobber line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance in steel drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and minimizes bit walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw oxide finish provides light lubrication and corrosion resistance during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards for heavy-duty jobber drill geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.1730-inch straight shank.

Apply cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 2.1875 inches in a single pass without retracting to clear chips. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection during all drilling operations.\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. 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High Speed Steel\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 Split Point with Web Thinning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw Oxide (Bronze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1875 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\u003eFlute by 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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (Codes P, M, K, N, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Margin\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10CO-R15CO-R18CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\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: 5997700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694334345522,"sku":"5997700","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd6336b34c1d0261f5eb3b4d3e77059f_68021f70-147c-4bb8-87e4-8928295d823c.jpg?v=1788323258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997700-cobalt-jobber-drill-no-17","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
