It measures 17\/64 inches (0.2656 inches) in diameter with a 4.125-inch overall length and a 2.875-inch spiral flute length. The bit is ground from high speed steel and finished with a steam oxide coating that reduces friction and helps resist corrosion during service. A 135-degree split point minimizes walking on entry, making it well suited for production and maintenance drilling where accuracy and speed both matter. Machinists, maintenance techs, and industrial tradespeople are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium — the full range of workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks without an adapter. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 11xD and a tapered web configuration, it handles deeper passes without packing chips. It fits well into both bench drill press and handheld drill driver applications across manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, and mechanical service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) diameter with matching straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree standard point angle with web thinning to reduce entry force and bit walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute regular spiral design with 2.875-inch maximum drilling depth for jobber-length reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards and NAS 907 specification; Series R10B-R15B-R18B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 17\/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully into the chuck jaws and tighten evenly to prevent runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inches (0.2656 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2656 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10B-R15B-R18B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Margin\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 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: 5998045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703974560050,"sku":"5998045","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e54529b321c8d88e787e6c4f803d17c6_93d66a40-43b0-4cfb-b66f-e5e5f520a2f6.jpg?v=1788419796","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998045-jobber-drill-bit-17-64","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
