The bit measures 9\/16 inch in diameter with a 1\/2 inch Weldon flat shank, allowing it to seat securely in standard 1\/2 inch chucks and holders without slipping under torque. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 6 inch overall length and a bright, uncoated finish, this bit is built for straightforward performance where no specialized coating is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, HVAC mechanical rooms, plumbing rough-in work, and electrical trade applications where drilling through ferrous metals, aluminum, copper, and similar materials is routine. The Series R57 reduced shank design allows a larger-diameter bit to be run in a standard 1\/2 inch drill chuck, making it a practical choice when a full-shank bit of the same diameter would not fit available equipment. It is appropriate for both manual drill press work and light CNC or mill setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16 inch cutting diameter with 1\/2 inch reduced Weldon flat shank for use in standard 1\/2 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch flute length with regular spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating degradation concern in moderate-heat or coolant-free applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree Weldon flats on shank prevent rotation in side-lock holders and standard chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose drill bit compatible with 1\/2 inch keyed and keyless drill chucks, Weldon-style side-lock holders, and standard drill press spindles accepting 1\/2 inch shank tooling.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the chuck or holder is securely locked before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and use appropriate PPE including eye protection and chip guards when drilling metal. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed ratings for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inch (0.5625 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch)\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\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\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, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel, Synthetic, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduced Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4xD\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Required\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 6000045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723077321010,"sku":"6000045","price":60.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5ff5de5fb41f0ae18374578c20ea698e.jpg?v=1788600273","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000045-reduced-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
