Guhring 9005010060400 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.2380 in

Product Description

The GUHRING 9005010060400 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. The cylindrical shank measures 0.2378 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 5.8125 inches (5-13/16 inches). Conforming to DIN 340, it is suited for machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals working on production or repair drilling tasks.

This drill bit is rated for use in aluminum alloy and steel. The parabolic flute profile and web-thinned point reduce walking and heat buildup during entry, making it a reliable choice for deeper hole applications. With a flute-to-diameter ratio of 10xD and a maximum drilling depth of 3.462 inches (87.94 mm), it handles taper-length drilling where standard-length bits fall short. Typical applications include machine shop drilling, fixture work, and general metal fabrication where consistent hole quality is required.

Key Features

• 130-degree standard point angle for reduced thrust and accurate starting
• Parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in deeper cuts
• Web-thinned point with parallel web configuration reduces drilling force
• High speed steel construction provides durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for aluminum alloy and steel applications
• Conforms to DIN 340 specification for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit rated for aluminum alloy and steel, conforming to DIN 340 standards. Compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles accepting a 0.2378-inch cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press, milling machine, or handheld power drill with an appropriate chuck. Secure the cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable machine shop safety procedures. Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured before beginning the drilling operation.
