Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added lubricity and surface hardness, this bit measures 1.625 inches overall length with a 0.625-inch flute length. It cuts a 0.0520-inch diameter hole, corresponding to wire gauge size 55. The 118-degree standard point angle suits flat and slightly curved workpiece surfaces. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks. This bit is used by machinists, maintenance techs, and fabricators working with close-tolerance or tight-clearance drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 01358555 is suited for general-purpose drilling in light metals, plastics, and similar materials where a stubby screw machine length profile is preferred over a jobber-length bit. The shortened overall length provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection in drill press and CNC turret setups. Its compact size makes it practical for work in confined spaces or for use in automatic screw machines and repetitive production drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 55, 0.0520-inch decimal diameter for precise small-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides toughness and heat resistance for metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and helps extend cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose workpiece entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (1.625 inches OAL) increases rigidity and reduces deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute, straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web for improved chip evacuation on small-diameter bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks, drill presses, CNC turret machines, and automatic screw machines accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 0.0520-inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove drill bits only when the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or locked out per applicable safety procedures. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck to prevent slippage during cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before use and discard any bit showing chipping, burning, or significant wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 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\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0011 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01358555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690750869810,"sku":"01358555","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5a4f1ad1a0eed6505afcf4d57d71f384.jpg?v=1788274973","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01358555-size-55-screw-machine-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
