The bit measures 9\/16 inch (0.5625 inch) in diameter with a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to seat in standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks without requiring a larger chuck capacity. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 118-degree standard point angle provides a versatile cutting geometry suited to everyday drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for use in hand-held power drills, drill presses, and milling setups where a reduced shank profile is required to match available toolholding. The 6 inch overall length and 3 inch flute length accommodate moderate drilling depths in production and maintenance environments. It is well suited for machinists, millwrights, and general fabricators working with ferrous metals, aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, magnesium, and synthetic materials. Right-hand spiral flutes with a regular helix handle chip evacuation under standard cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced shank design: 9\/16 inch cutting diameter with a 1\/2 inch shank for compatibility with standard 1\/2 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose versatility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, regular spiral flutes for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — no coating degradation to monitor during regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries R56, ANSI standards compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit suitable for use in any 1\/2 inch drill chuck.
