Ground from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle, right-hand cutting direction, and a regular spiral flute configuration with a tapered web. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck engagement, and the web-thinned tip reduces entry force and walking at the start of a cut. At 0.295 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches overall length, this bit fits compact drilling setups where stub-length rigidity is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrew machine length drill bits are specified when reduced overhang and increased rigidity matter, such as in drill press work, CNC setups, and tight-clearance applications. This Series R42 bit carries an ANSI designation and is suited for general-purpose drilling in metals including titanium, making it appropriate for machinists, pipefitters, and HVAC sheet metal technicians who require consistent hole geometry with minimal deflection. The 1.5625-inch flute length supports chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole operations at moderate depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in metal drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and cleaner entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant Series R42 build for consistent dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.295 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by machinists and trade technicians using standard drill presses, hand drills, or CNC equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement. Disconnect power or engage the safety lockout on any powered equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.295 inches (Letter M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5625 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, 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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04167 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: 5998944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715039166770,"sku":"5998944","price":15.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33124aaf139b72d45d61487be9fd1a1e.jpg?v=1788509139","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998944-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
