It measures 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 4.125 inches and a flute length of 2.875 inches. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact and requires less thrust than a 118-degree point. An oxide and straw coating provides surface protection and helps reduce friction during drilling. This bit is part of the R10CO-R15CO-R18CO series and is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working in production or field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The cobalt steel construction handles higher cutting temperatures than standard HSS, making it appropriate for harder steels and interrupted cuts. With a straight cylindrical shank at 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch) diameter and a 1.25-inch shank length, it seats directly in standard drill chucks found on bench drills, drill presses, and hand drills. It is a general-purpose selection for production shops, maintenance crews, and fabrication applications where steel drilling is routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt steel construction handles elevated cutting temperatures in hard steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust requirements and minimizes bit walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide and straw coating reduces friction and provides surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered-web design improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, 2-flute configuration with right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards for dimensional and performance consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to manage heat and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use, as cobalt bits subjected to excessive heat can develop micro-fractures that are not always visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inch (0.2656 inch)\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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\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\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: 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\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\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide and Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (P, M, K, N, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose 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\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: 0.042 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: 5998301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692848152882,"sku":"5998301","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/48612cbca6d09eb9dfe2c82cf07b8e8a_d898b714-fe9a-4a37-9de4-96bf7b314826.jpg?v=1788303984","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998301-cobalt-jobber-drill-17-64-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
