Manufactured from high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit measures 0.173 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2-3\/16 inches and a flute length of 1-1\/8 inches. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and improves bite on entry, while the web-thinned, tapered web construction lowers thrust requirements. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need consistent, accurate holes in tight-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is rated for use on titanium as its primary workpiece material, making it appropriate for aerospace, industrial maintenance, and precision fabrication environments where conventional bits fall short. The screw machine length profile provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, which is advantageous when drilling in confined spaces or on drill press and CNC setups. The regular spiral flute and straight-cylindrical shank allow it to seat securely in standard three-jaw chucks and collet holders without slippage during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces center-walking and improves penetration on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers drilling thrust and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length body offers greater rigidity than standard jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards; Series R41C heavy-duty grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or direct-fit screw machine drill bit for applications requiring a wire gauge No. 17 or 0.173-inch diameter hole, falling within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range of the R41C series.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a calibrated chuck or collet before operation to prevent runout. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; use appropriate cutting fluid applied externally when drilling titanium or other hard materials to manage heat. Follow shop safety protocols and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.173 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\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: Coated\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, 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: Split\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 Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R41C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1500 to 0.2000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 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: 5998620\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51706518110514,"sku":"5998620","price":53.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b5fedd21b642191dd9c140331f1ddb9.jpg?v=1788435178","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998620-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
