Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 0.377-inch (Letter V) diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks, and the regular spiral flute pattern promotes efficient cutting in a right-hand direction. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and production drilling technicians are the primary users of this type of bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw machine length bit is suited for production and general-purpose applications where a shorter overall length provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection compared to jobber-length bits. With an overall length of 3.25 inches and a flute length of 1.875 inches, it fits compact setups, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual machine tools. The Series R42 designation places it in a recognized family of general-purpose HSS bits. Primary workpiece material is listed as titanium, though the general-purpose grade and HSS construction make it applicable across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials in appropriate cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter V size: 0.377-inch diameter for precise sizing in standard and metric-adjacent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length for increased rigidity and reduced deflection in close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute and 2.5xD flute-to-diameter ratio for chip control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-standard specification for consistent dimensional compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit in Series R42, compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, manual mills, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power tools accepting the 0.377-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachinists and production technicians should ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Power down the machine and disconnect the drive before changing or inspecting the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.377 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R42\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: 0.083 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: 5998963\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704277664050,"sku":"5998963","price":20.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5b473b2ae1acdd92c3269761ce509507.jpg?v=1788421645","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5998963-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
