Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute regular spiral design. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1730 inches in diameter with a shank length of 1.1875 inches. Overall length is 3.375 inches, and maximum drilling depth reaches 2.1875 inches. The web is thinned and tapered for improved chip clearance and reduced thrust. This bit is sized for general-purpose drilling applications in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work performed by machinists, millwrights, and HVAC or plumbing tradespeople who drill through metal components regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. It conforms to ANSI standards and belongs to the R10P-R15P-R18P series, making it suited for both production and field drilling tasks where a standard jobber-length bit is the appropriate reach. It performs well in handheld drills, drill presses, and mill setups where a straight shank is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 17 — 0.1730 inch decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard split point angle for accurate starting on metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across multiple material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — suitable for general-purpose drilling without added coating cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned and tapered web design reduces cutting resistance and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with two regular spiral flutes and a 13xD flute-to-diameter ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant geometry — Series R10P-R15P-R18P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock bit for use in straight-shank drill chucks across handheld, bench, and production drilling setups.

Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend tool life and prevent work-hardening. Follow applicable ANSI and shop-safety standards for speed and feed selection based on material and bit diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Margin\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10P-R15P-R18P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 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: 5999221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699921781042,"sku":"5999221","price":52.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a9595767adf1a1bebcf3507a2874d00_488733d8-9841-4e9a-b5d1-b2393b8bc9f5.jpg?v=1788383490","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999221-wire-17-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
