Built from high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit measures 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches) in diameter and delivers a 118-degree standard point angle suited for most shop and field drilling operations. The spiral flute geometry with a 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio promotes efficient chip evacuation during extended cuts. A straight shank provides straightforward chuck compatibility without adapters. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for this bit when working through carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, cast iron, and similar substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5999704 belongs to the Series R51 line of taper length bits, which offer greater reach than jobber-length bits while maintaining rigidity. The extended flute length of 3-3\/4 inches and overall length of 6-1\/8 inches make it well-suited for applications requiring deeper hole penetration than a standard jobber bit allows. Typical installations include fabrication shops, HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing rough-in work, and general mechanical trades where drilling through structural members or stacked material is common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches) diameter with matching straight shank for direct chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-3\/4 inch spiral flute length with 6xD ratio for efficient chip removal in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect final hole diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, ANSI-standard geometry for compatibility with standard drill presses and hand drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, magnetic drill, or hand drill accepting a straight shank.

Power down or lock out the drill press or driving tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches)\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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: R51\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: 0.042 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: 5999704\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694317306162,"sku":"5999704","price":20.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/58255a6030c12e8b7ec5ee4088c33e9b.jpg?v=1788323030","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999704-taper-length-drill-bit-15-64","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
