Built for heavy-duty use, it features a straight shank, right-hand cutting direction, and a straw finish. The shortened screw machine length overall length of 1-5\/8 inches makes it well suited for work in confined spaces and high-cycle production drilling. With 2 regular spiral flutes and a 5\/8-inch flute length, this bit handles tough materials common in metalworking and fabrication. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is appropriate for drilling small-diameter holes in ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other hard materials where a high-speed steel bit may wear prematurely. Screw machine length bits are commonly used in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes where reduced length increases rigidity and minimizes deflection. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure, making it practical for production environments and precision work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 54 with 0.0550 inch decimal diameter for precise small-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt construction rated for heavy-duty use in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine length (1-5\/8 inches OAL) increases rigidity and reduces deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, 2-flute regular spiral design for standard drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine length drill bit for wire gauge size 54 applications across standard drill presses, machining centers, and hand-held power drills equipped with a compatible straight-shank chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance personnel familiar with machine tool operation. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and confirm the machine is at a complete stop before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\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: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 01378546\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722306847026,"sku":"01378546","price":41.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/73be87368bdda4f5400bed468a5a8116.jpg?v=1788589054","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01378546-cobalt-drill-bit-size-54","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
