Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree split point and a spiral flute with web thinning for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. The 5\/32-inch (0.1562-inch) diameter and 3-inch flute length make it well-suited for reaching into deeper holes where a jobber-length bit would fall short. This is a right-hand cut bit with a tapered web configuration, consistent with ANSI standards. It weighs approximately 0.04 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for use in both shop and field environments where drilling into ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials is required. Typical applications include fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical work in industrial, commercial, and trade settings. Compatible materials include alloy steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, graphite, hardened steel, high strength bronze, magnesium, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, and stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning reduces entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch spiral flute length provides a 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for deeper hole access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; Series R51 general-purpose grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks.

Machinists and maintenance technicians should verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material and bit diameter before drilling. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1562 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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-3\/8 inches\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: 0.1563 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: 6000228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701718516018,"sku":"6000228","price":19.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/87c280776dcdc5ef9facb0992b55804e.jpg?v=1788404286","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000228-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
