Built from cobalt high-speed steel with an oxide and bronze straw finish, it is designed for heavy-duty drilling in steel and other demanding materials. The 135-degree split point self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. With an overall length of 3.25 inches and a flute length of 2.125 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications where tool life and hole quality matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials in industrial, machining, and fabrication environments. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry handle general-purpose through-hole drilling efficiently. It conforms to ANSI and NAS 907 standards, making it a direct fit for applications that specify NAS-compliant tooling. Machinists, tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in steel and hard alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point self-centers and reduces thrust force compared to standard 118-degree points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide and bronze straw coating improves lubricity and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces torque and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for consistent chip clearing\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the R10CO-R15CO-R18CO series.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and apply cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve finish. Do not exceed the recommended drilling depth of 2.125 inches per pass without retracting to clear chips. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of wear or chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1610 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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide and Bronze Straw\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\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: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 5997711\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717367857458,"sku":"5997711","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd6336b34c1d0261f5eb3b4d3e77059f_3c3fde5b-f2a3-4e18-bbc2-08acbcb1c56b.jpg?v=1788539250","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997711-cobalt-jobber-drill-no-20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
