Built from cobalt high-speed steel and rated for heavy-duty general-purpose drilling, it handles steel and other demanding materials where standard HSS bits wear prematurely. The 135-degree point reduces walking on entry and requires no center punch on most flat surfaces. A regular spiral flute with web thinning promotes chip evacuation and reduces thrust. This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working in production or field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jobber drill is suited for drilling steel, cast iron, stainless, nonferrous alloys, and similar materials in both production and maintenance applications. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on drill presses, lathes, and hand drills. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 10xD, it is well matched to moderate-depth through-holes and blind holes in typical structural and plate steel work. The Series R10CO-R15CO-R18CO designation places this bit within a heavy-duty cobalt jobber family built to NAS 907 and ANSI standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter M size — 0.2950 inches diameter with matching straight shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers required thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction for heat resistance and extended tool life in steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw oxide finish provides light lubricity and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web for improved chip clearance and reduced feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 and ANSI standards — suitable for aerospace and industrial specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2950-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life, noting this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges and web condition before each use; a worn or chipped point should be reground or the bit replaced before returning to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3125 inches\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\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10xD\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\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907, ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10CO-R15CO-R18CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04167 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: 5999040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708073410866,"sku":"5999040","price":24.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/43023b3e6b6bab88a536782a7f7f19eb_195e1655-90dc-4fb0-8f71-afaaaff943d0.jpg?v=1788443909","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999040-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-m","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
