Precision Twist Drill 5999151 Jobber Drill Bit 24 Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5999151 is a jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size 24, with a decimal diameter of 0.1520 inches. Made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree split-point angle and a two-flute spiral configuration for efficient chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1520 inches in diameter with a shank length of 1.125 inches. Overall length is 3.125 inches with a maximum drilling depth of 2 inches. This is a general purpose bit intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working on drilling operations across a range of materials.

This drill bit is suited for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Its regular spiral and tapered web configuration make it appropriate for general purpose production and maintenance drilling in shop and field environments. The R18P series designation places it within a family of standard jobber length HSS bits built to ANSI specifications. It is sold individually and is well suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a wire-gauge size 24 hole is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of dulling or chipping.
