It carries a No. 28 wire gauge size, equivalent to 9\/64 inch (0.1405 inch decimal), and features a 135-degree split point angle for fast penetration and reduced walking on entry. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a steam oxide coating that provides light lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. Overall length is 2.875 inches with a flute length of 1.75 inches. The straight cylindrical shank diameter matches the drill diameter at 0.1405 inch, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. This is a right-hand cut, two-flute design from the R18B series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is a standard jobber-length format appropriate for hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations in light to medium production environments. The 135-degree point geometry reduces thrust force compared to 118-degree conventional points, making it particularly useful when starting holes on curved or hard surfaces without a center punch. It meets ANSI and NAS 907 standards and carries a flute-to-diameter ratio of 12xD for adequate chip evacuation in typical drilling depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 28 wire size, 9\/64 inch (0.1405 inch decimal) drill diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning for reduced thrust and self-centering entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide finish for light corrosion resistance and improved lubricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards; straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.1405 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid for stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 1.75 inches for this bit length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1405 inch\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: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1405 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10B-R15B-R18B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 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: 5999118\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691499847986,"sku":"5999118","price":45.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7da465a3340ea6a9db91bc6a63822e95_821681e4-18cf-4017-ac93-01e590b805b3.jpg?v=1788286007","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999118-no-28-9-64-in-hss-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
