The bit measures 15\/16 inches (0.9375 inches) in diameter with a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing use in standard 1\/2 inch chuck equipment even when drilling larger holes. The 118-degree standard point angle delivers reliable entry on ferrous and non-ferrous metals alike. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this Series R56 bit offers consistent cutting performance. Licensed tradespeople and experienced machinists are the typical end users for bits in this size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling ferrous metals including steel and iron, as well as aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, and synthetic materials. The reduced shank design makes it compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills equipped with 1\/2 inch chucks, extending the practical range of standard tooling without requiring a larger chuck. It is appropriate for both shop and field use where a larger-diameter hole is needed with standard 1\/2 inch chuck capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15\/16 inch cutting diameter with 1\/2 inch reduced shank for use in standard 1\/2 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for reliable starting and consistent hole geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inch flute length with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, Series R56 design built to ANSI standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or flake during regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with any drill press, milling machine, or power drill fitted with a 1\/2 inch capacity chuck.

Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent rotation. High speed steel bits generate heat during drilling — reduce feed pressure and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard ferrous metals to extend tool life. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use and regrind or replace as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches (0.9375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches (1\/2 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R56\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, 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\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: 5999950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693165445426,"sku":"5999950","price":89.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3d229516aa208733d6980736b4495939.jpg?v=1788308267","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5999950-reduced-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
