It can drill to a depth up to four times the diameter of the drill size. The 5ATS series has a type N flute form (a regular helix angle of 21 to 34 degrees) and has best performance when drilling into magnetic soft steel or structural steel (case carburizing steel). Black oxide helps to prevent buildup and welding of material on the drill’s cutting edge when working with iron and steel. Spiral flutes act as a passageway for chip extraction from the hole and for coolant to enter the hole. Right-hand twist brings chips up and away from the cutting edge. The extra length allows for more freedom in being able to drill a wider variety of circumstances. HSS assures good performance at an economical cost. The Morse taper is a shank that is tapered from one end to another. The taper of the tool fits into the taper of the tool-holder. The friction between the surfaces provides a secure holding system and accurate placement of the tool. A drift pin is knocked into the slot at the tang to remove the tool. Drilling, or hole making, is the most common metalworking operation in the world. Twist drill bits are the most common type of drill bit used. Twist drill bits are commonly used to drill holes with hand-operated drills, standalone drill presses, or lathes. The flutes of the drill bit act a passageway for chip extraction from the hole and for coolant to enter the hole. These drill bits have a right-hand twist that brings chips up and away from the cutting edge. They are made to DIN 1897 industry standards (metric sizing), which helps ensure that drill bits around the world, conform to the same specifications.

It has a 118 degree conventional point, so if you need a split point, you should sharpen it yourself. Which you should expect to do anyway in an industrial setting. In fact, I recommend that shops should buy conventional point drills, since they are going to need to resharpen them anyway and a conventional point is a little cheaper. Plus, they can resharpen them with other types of special points as needed for specific applications. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/96796590-precision-twist-5ats-high-speed-steel-taper-shank-drill-bit](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/96796590-precision-twist-5ats-high-speed-steel-taper-shank-drill-bit) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
