Precision Twist Drill 5999211 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 14

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5999211 is a jobber-length drill bit sized at wire gauge 14 (0.182 inches decimal) and manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Designed for general-purpose drilling applications, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a regular spiral flute with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.182 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 3.375 inches. This bit is suited for licensed tradespeople and production machinists who require a reliable, right-hand-cut jobber drill for everyday metal drilling tasks.

This drill bit is intended for drilling into a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. With a flute length of 2.1875 inches and a maximum drilling depth of 2.1875 inches, it handles standard through-hole and blind-hole work in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments. The tapered web configuration and 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it appropriate for light production runs as well as field service work where consistent hole quality in metal is required.

Key Features

• Wire gauge 14 size at 0.182 inches decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and titanium-class superalloys
• Regular spiral flute with 2.1875-inch flute length maximizes chip clearance in deep cuts
• Bright uncoated finish maintains consistent dimensional tolerance straight from the grind
• Right-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• ANSI-compliant construction in Series R10P-R15P-R18P for interchangeability with tooling inventories

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber-length replacement or direct-use drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.182-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations per ANSI jobber-length standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, or any trade professional using rotary drilling equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure workpieces are clamped before starting the cut. Do not use coolant-through setups with this bit, as it is not rated for through-coolant delivery.
