The bit measures 55\/64 inches (0.8594 inches) in diameter with a 1\/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 1\/2-inch drill chucks and presses without requiring a larger capacity spindle. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle suited for drilling ferrous metals and a range of secondary materials. Overall length is 6 inches with a 3-inch flute length, providing adequate chip clearance in moderate-depth holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute pattern and fits Series R56. It is appropriate for use on drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills in industrial, shop, and field environments. Suitable primary workpiece material is ferrous metal. Secondary workpiece materials include aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, cermet, and synthetic materials. The reduced shank design is especially useful when drilling larger-diameter holes with equipment limited to a 1\/2-inch chuck capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55\/64-inch (0.8594-inch) drill diameter with 1\/2-inch reduced straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard 1\/2-inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for typical shop drilling tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to delaminate or obscure wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute pattern promotes efficient chip evacuation up to 3 inches of flute length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, ANSI-standard geometry for predictable performance across common drill press setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill bit for applications requiring a 55\/64-inch hole diameter through equipment fitted with a 1\/2-inch drill chuck.

Secure the reduced shank fully in the chuck and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill or press. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the material being drilled, and allow adequate chip clearance to prevent bit binding or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55\/64 inches (0.8594 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 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 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduced Shank\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 5999681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51709245915442,"sku":"5999681","price":96.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/20652b6b4658466cc3cc7df6bbb47655.jpg?v=1788453396","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999681-reduced-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
