Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 1.2031 inches in diameter with a 1\/2-inch Weldon flat shank that locks securely in compatible chucks and holders. The 118-degree standard point angle suits most production and maintenance drilling applications. At 6 inches overall length with a 3-inch flute length, this bit is suited for setups where a reduced shank allows a larger-diameter bit to run in a standard 1\/2-inch chuck. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and mechanical contracting will find this a practical, workhorse tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5999562 is rated for right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute configuration. Primary workpiece material is ferrous metal. Secondary compatible materials include aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, cermet, and synthetics. The Weldon flat shank with three flats resists rotation under torque, making it well-suited for drill presses, milling machines, and magnetic-base drills where slip is a concern. Maximum drilling depth reaches 3 inches, consistent with the flute-to-diameter ratio of 4xD. This bit conforms to ANSI standards and carries UNSPSC code 23241635.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.2031-inch (1-13\/64) drill diameter with reduced 1\/2-inch Weldon flat shank for use in standard chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility without special grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flat Weldon shank design resists rotational slippage under high-torque conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch flute length with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation up to 3 inches depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant Series R57 for consistent dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2-inch Weldon flat chuck holders and compatible drill presses, milling machines, or magnetic-base drills.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing the bit. Confirm the Weldon flat is properly seated against the set screw in the holder to prevent slippage. Refer to machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for appropriate speeds, feeds, and coolant practices for your specific workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-13\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute-to-Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4xD\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cermet, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel, Synthetic, Titanium\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: R57\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Required\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.5 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: 5999562\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708378579250,"sku":"5999562","price":181.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/111edff2768c324661ef70f54ecbab28_3ee07dac-62c1-4ff9-8086-524c097ab60f.jpg?v=1788445811","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999562-reduced-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
