The 23\/32 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing use in standard 1\/2 inch chuck equipment without a larger chuck capacity. The 118-degree split point reduces walking and lowers thrust requirements at entry. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, the bit retains hardness at elevated temperatures, making it a reliable choice for production drilling, fabrication shops, and maintenance trades where heat buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling ferrous metals including steel and cast iron, as well as secondary materials such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, and synthetic materials. The reduced shank design is a common solution when the required hole diameter exceeds the capacity of available chucks or spindles. It fits standard drill presses, CNC machines, and heavy-duty hand drills equipped with a 1\/2 inch chuck. Typical applications include structural fabrication, mechanical assembly, and industrial maintenance work requiring consistent, accurate hole placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt construction maintains cutting hardness under high heat and extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree split point reduces drill walk and entry thrust on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced 1\/2 inch shank diameter allows use in standard 1\/2 inch chucks despite 23\/32 inch cut diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch flute length provides a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant construction for consistent dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with ferrous metals, aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, cermet, and synthetic workpiece materials.

Secure the shank fully in a properly rated 1\/2 inch chuck before operation and confirm the chuck is tightened with the appropriate key before engaging the spindle. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece firmly before drilling. Do not exceed the rated drilling depth of 3 inches for this bit length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/32 inch (0.7188 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\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: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduced Shank\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, Cermet, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel, Synthetic, Titanium\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: R56CO\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\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: 6000377\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711705350450,"sku":"6000377","price":96.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a0168d4cf9cfe72ad8aaa5d09b60e3c4.jpg?v=1788478696","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000377-cobalt-drill-bit-23-32-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
