It measures 0.0595 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1.875 inches and a flute length of 0.875 inches. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a steam oxide coating that reduces friction and extends tool life in production drilling environments. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand spiral flute geometry suit it for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC setups. A tapered web with web thinning reduces thrust at entry and improves chip evacuation. This bit is sold individually and is sized for precision hole work where wire gauge tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWire gauge drill bits in the 53 range are commonly used in metalworking shops, aerospace maintenance environments, and machine shops for tapping prep holes, clearance holes, and close-tolerance work. The Series R18 designation places this bit in PRECISION TWIST DRILL's standard jobber line. It is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The straight cylindrical shank with no flats seats cleanly in standard drill chucks without slippage under normal feed rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 53 (0.0595 inches) for close-tolerance hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with steam oxide finish for reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for clean entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute, 2-flute configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI specification compliance for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0595-inch straight cylindrical shank across drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist or qualified metalworking technician using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to prevent work hardening and premature edge wear. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and speed selection by material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0595 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0595 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R10-R15-R18\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: 0.04167 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 5999243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698389352754,"sku":"5999243","price":41.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f2bbd17554f8298fe95bb319a732ccea_3bb3cf9a-bf49-453b-924f-a95be25c392b.jpg?v=1788362105","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999243-wire-size-53-hss-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
