Built from high speed steel with a steam oxide coating, it features a 135-degree split-point tip and a tapered web with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced walking on entry. The spiral flute design and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working across production and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5999140 is intended for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Its heavy-duty grade and NAS 907 specification make it appropriate for aerospace and precision manufacturing applications where dimensional accuracy and material hardness demand a reliable, consistent cutting tool. The 5-inch overall length and 3-5\/8-inch flute length accommodate typical jobber-length drilling depths on standard workholding setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter V size with 0.3770-inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point angle reduces thrust and minimizes drill walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating provides corrosion resistance and mild lubricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web design improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-flute spiral configuration with regular spiral type for standard metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards and NAS 907 specification for heavy-duty applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard jobber-length drill bit applications across Series R10B, R15B, and R18B.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is properly tightened on the straight shank. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 3-5\/8 inches, and use appropriate cutting fluid for hard or heat-sensitive materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Letter V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecimal Equivalent\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3770 inches\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: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 inches (3-5\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches (1-3\/8 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\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose, Heavy Duty Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907, ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10B, R15B, R18B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 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: 5999140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717604311346,"sku":"5999140","price":23.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/630ae9ea750d4f4c3de41855fbe582d7_c74ce377-6ea2-4066-acba-cea4753e3711.jpg?v=1788543202","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999140-drill-bit-letter-v-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
