It carries a 135-degree split point with web thinning, which reduces the force needed to start a cut and helps prevent walking on hard surfaces. The bit measures 2.3750 inches overall length with a 1.3750-inch flute length and a 0.0980-inch diameter straight shank. The straw oxide finish provides additional lubricity and surface hardness. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople working with drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jobber drill is suited for general-purpose drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys, consistent with its P, M, K, N, and S workpiece material codes. The cobalt high-speed steel construction handles elevated cutting temperatures better than standard HSS, making it appropriate for work in harder steels and production drilling where heat buildup is a concern. The regular spiral flute and tapered web configuration promote efficient chip evacuation in standard through-hole and blind-hole applications. It conforms to ANSI and NAS 907 standards and belongs to the R10CO-R15CO-R18CO series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance in hard-metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and prevents bit walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw oxide finish adds lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with tapered web for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction, straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards for heavy-duty drill bit performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-compatible replacement or direct addition for applications requiring a No. 40 wire-gauge cobalt jobber drill bit.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm chuck grip on the full shank diameter before operation. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 1.3750 inches without retracting to clear chips. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; use appropriate cutting fluid applied externally when drilling harder steels to manage heat.\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. 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0980 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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw Oxide\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: 2.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0980 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (P, M, K, N, S material codes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10CO-R15CO-R18CO\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: 5997784\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702461006130,"sku":"5997784","price":55.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd6336b34c1d0261f5eb3b4d3e77059f_c1c64aac-b898-467b-8f4c-0cae3c376d4d.jpg?v=1788411012","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997784-cobalt-jobber-drill-no-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
