Built to the QC91P series standard, it features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch, reducing walking on hard or smooth surfaces. The parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation and allows faster feed rates compared to standard spiral flutes. At 0.1820 inches in diameter (wire size 14) with a 3-3\/8 inch flute length and 5-3\/4 inch overall length, this bit fills the gap between jobber-length and extended-reach drilling applications. The straight shank seats in standard drill chucks without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for use in handheld drill drivers, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a longer flute-to-diameter ratio is needed to reach deeper hole depths. The 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for through-hole drilling in structural components, plate stock, and fabrication work. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements, which is especially useful when drilling harder alloys or when working with smaller horsepower machines. Licensed electricians, pipefitters, fabricators, and HVAC technicians will find this bit useful for field drilling tasks requiring more reach than a standard jobber bit provides.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design promotes fast chip clearance and cooler cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers drilling 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\u003eStraight shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks with no adapter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for drilling in alloy steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, graphite, hardened steel, magnesium, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel, stainless steel, steel, tempered steel, titanium, and titanium alloy as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the workpiece before drilling and confirm chuck jaws are fully tightened on the straight shank before operation. Power down and de-energize any equipment before drilling into live assemblies or energized enclosures. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, titanium, or hardened alloys to extend edge life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or heat discoloration is visible at the point.\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: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1820 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\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/8 inches\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-3\/4 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: 0.1820 inches\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, Web-Thinned\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 5997973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702474113330,"sku":"5997973","price":33.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/493f31ed2c78d8c96911c7c32cd9970a_709d9e63-8524-41d2-b6ac-5db9006f7c80.jpg?v=1788411194","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5997973-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
