The bit measures 0.2280 inches in diameter (wire size No. 1) with a 135-degree split point that promotes self-centering and reduces walking on entry. The parabolic flute geometry — running 3-3\/4 inches in length for an overall length of 6-1\/8 inches — accelerates chip evacuation and supports deeper hole applications. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit is suited for machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working with production or repair drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for general-purpose drilling across a broad spectrum of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, hardened steel, tempered steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, copper, titanium, titanium alloy, nickel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, and graphite. The taper length body provides added reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it well-suited for applications where standard-length bits cannot access the workpiece or where a deeper hole is required in a single pass.\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 on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute with 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for efficient chip removal in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry drilling where compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI standards for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style taper length replacement or production drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks and compatible straight-shank tool holders accepting a 0.2280-inch shank diameter.

Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured — never hand-hold small workpieces during drilling. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals and stainless steel to extend tool life and manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges and split point for wear or chipping before each use; a damaged point should be resharpened or the bit replaced before drilling resumes.\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: No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2280 inches\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: Split\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: 3-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-1\/8 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: 0.2280 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.04167 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: 5997960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711916933426,"sku":"5997960","price":37.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/493f31ed2c78d8c96911c7c32cd9970a_7da82321-5625-49c4-b574-57dea013b7ac.jpg?v=1788481370","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997960-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
