Precision Twist Drill 5999757 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 5999757 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The straight shank measures 0.1875 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 5.75 inches, with a flute length of 3.375 inches. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves centering. This bit is suited for installation and fabrication work performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals.

The 5999757 taper length drill bit is appropriate for use on a broad range of materials including alloy steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, graphite, hardened steel, magnesium, malleable iron, nickel, nickel alloys, reinforced plastics, and stainless steel. Its taper length body provides added reach in applications where a jobber-length bit would fall short, making it well suited for structural, mechanical, and trade service work in both residential and commercial settings.
