Built to Series R56CO specifications, it features a 25\/32 inch (0.7812 inch decimal) cutting diameter with a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical reduced shank, allowing it to fit standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks despite the larger bit diameter. The 118-degree split point promotes accurate starting and reduces walking on entry. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for cobalt tooling intended for regrinding. This bit is installed and used by machinists, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople who require a durable, heat-resistant drill bit for production or field work.\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 certain synthetic materials. The reduced shank design is a practical solution when the required hole diameter exceeds the chuck capacity of a standard drill press or hand drill. With a 3 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length, it handles moderate drilling depths in both shop and field environments. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25\/32 inch cutting diameter (0.7812 inch decimal) with 1\/2 inch reduced straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard 1\/2 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material provides heat resistance and extended tool life when drilling hard or abrasive metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree split point reduces thrust and improves self-centering on entry without a center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch flute length supports drilling depths up to 3 inches with efficient chip evacuation via regular spiral flutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish preserves cobalt substrate and simplifies regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, ANSI-compliant, Series R56CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 1\/2 inch capacity drill chucks on drill presses, magnetic drills, and heavy-duty hand drills. Primary workpiece material is ferrous metal; rated for secondary use in aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, cermet, and synthetic materials per manufacturer specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the reduced shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. No coolant is required per manufacturer specification, though cutting fluid is commonly applied in shop settings to extend tool life when drilling steel. Inspect the split point for wear or chipping before reuse; cobalt bits may be reground by a qualified tool grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/32 inch (0.7812 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical Reduced Shank\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\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, Titanium, Cermet, Synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Required\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: 6000382\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690340974898,"sku":"6000382","price":101.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0d6d772686a919f300dcc03d95594e1a.jpg?v=1788269071","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000382-reduced-shank-cobalt-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
