Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree point angle and a regular spiral flute with right-hand cut. The two-flute design clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. Overall length is 1.375 inches with a flute length of 0.5 inches. This bit belongs to the R18P series and conforms to ANSI standards. It is suited for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials encountered in machining, fabrication, and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The small diameter makes it well suited for precision hole work, pilot holes, and fine drilling tasks in tool-and-die, sheet metal, electronics assembly, and general machining environments. Maximum drilling depth is 0.5 inches. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks across benchtop drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld power tools. No coolant-through capability is required for general-purpose use at this diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge No. 68 size, 1\/32 inch diameter (0.0310 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose durability across multiple material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web geometry for easier starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish provides consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI standards; R18P series designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 1\/32-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning any drilling operation. At this small diameter, reduce feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage, particularly in hard materials. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety guidelines when operating drilling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 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: 0.0310 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\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: R10P-R15P-R18P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04167 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: 5999284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699306758450,"sku":"5999284","price":41.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a9595767adf1a1bebcf3507a2874d00_2946a75b-0a33-4ebd-97c0-bb81ac42e841.jpg?v=1788374848","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999284-no-68-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
