It is web-thinned for easier penetration and reduced thrust on entry. The straw oxide finish provides mild lubricity and heat resistance during cutting. With a regular spiral flute, straight shank, and tapered web configuration, this bit is built for general-purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temp alloys. Overall length is 4.5 inches with a 3.1875-inch flute length. It is sized to NAS 907 and ANSI standards and weighs approximately 0.08 pounds. Licensed machinists, tool and die shops, and maintenance trades install and use this bit in standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5999048 is suited for production drilling and maintenance applications in metal fabrication, aerospace component work, and general machining environments. Its cobalt construction handles harder steels and work-hardening materials that would wear out standard high-speed steel bits quickly. The 135-degree point reduces walking on entry and is well-matched to interrupted cuts or drilling into curved surfaces. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without modification. This bit belongs to the R10CO-R15CO-R18CO series, covering heavy-duty jobber drill applications across a range of letter sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt construction rated for drilling steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temp materials (Material Codes P, M, K, N, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning reduces thrust and prevents walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraw oxide finish adds lubricity and mild heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with tapered web for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 and ANSI standards for heavy-duty jobber drill geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the PRECISION TWIST DRILL R10CO-R15CO-R18CO series.

Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling into finished workpieces. Do not exceed the bit's maximum drilling depth of 3.1875 inches without retracting to clear chips. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3160 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\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: Steel (Material Codes P, M, K, N, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: 5999048\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51709180838194,"sku":"5999048","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/43023b3e6b6bab88a536782a7f7f19eb_aceac674-004c-4695-ad4a-9f9f0feb5741.jpg?v=1788452446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999048-cobalt-jobber-drill-letter-o","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
