Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 0.625-inch (5\/8 inch) diameter, a standard 118-degree point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 4.25 inches overall length with a 2.75-inch flute, the stubby screw machine profile adds rigidity and minimizes deflection in short-hole applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance mechanics install this bit in drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is rated for general-purpose drilling with a listed primary workpiece material of titanium, making it suitable for demanding non-ferrous and ferrous material applications. The Series R40 designation places it within PRECISION TWIST DRILL's high-performance line, manufactured to ANSI standards. The 2.5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and spiral flute geometry support controlled chip removal during deep-pass operations. It is appropriate for production drilling environments where a compact, rigid bit is preferred over jobber-length alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.625-inch (5\/8 inch) diameter, screw machine length for added rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ANSI standards, Series R40 high-performance designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in 0.625-inch diameter; listed primary workpiece material is titanium, suitable for a range of metalworking applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with cutting tool safety. Ensure the drill press, lathe, or CNC spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing bits. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth before beginning any cut. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow facility safety standards when operating rotating cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 2.5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R40\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: 0.5 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: 5998538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718464438578,"sku":"5998538","price":54.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8b1abdfe04b4d1e8f4e978e7f46ea7da.jpg?v=1788553623","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998538-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
