Ground from high speed steel with a coated finish, it carries a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and lowers thrust during entry. The web-thinned, tapered web construction keeps cutting forces low while maintaining rigidity. At 0.277 inches in diameter — Letter size J — and an overall length of 2-11\/16 inches, this stub-length bit fits tight-clearance fixtures and short-stroke drill presses where standard-length bits would be impractical. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance professionals reach for this geometry when precision and cycle time both matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5999381 is built to the R42C series specification, meeting ANSI and NAS 907 standards. It is rated for titanium as the primary workpiece material, placing it squarely in aerospace, defense, and industrial MRO environments where titanium fastener holes and structural components are common. The 1-1\/2 inch flute length and 2.5xD flute-to-diameter ratio deliver effective chip evacuation in short-depth bores. Right-hand spiral flutes move chips away from the cut zone consistently. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard Jacobs-style chucks and collet holders without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punch marking on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web construction lowers cutting resistance for high-performance drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel body with coated finish for improved wear resistance and heat management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length fits tight-clearance fixtures and short-stroke machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and NAS 907 standards — suitable for aerospace and defense work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks and collet holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine drill bit for applications requiring a 0.277 inch (Letter J) diameter stub-length bit in standard Jacobs-style chucks, collet systems, or drill press spindles accepting straight-cylindrical shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before engaging the workpiece. Always set spindle speed and feed rate appropriate to the workpiece material — titanium in particular requires lower surface footage and consistent coolant or lubricant flow to prevent work hardening. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.277 inches (Letter J)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute By Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium\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: R42C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 5999381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699984007474,"sku":"5999381","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/03cd0ad548f0ccda2fac6344206c192d.jpg?v=1788384512","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999381-screw-machine-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
