Precision Twist Drill 018006 Hss Jobber Drill Bit Size 6

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018006 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit in size 6, designed for drilling through hard surfaces with consistent performance. Part of the R18 series, this bit delivers the length-to-diameter ratio standard to jobber drills, making it well suited for general-purpose drilling in metal, ferrous materials, and other tough substrates. The HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed to maintain a cutting edge under demanding conditions. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators rely on jobber-length bits like this for their balance of rigidity and reach in everyday drilling operations.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in production and maintenance environments where hard-surface drilling is routine. The jobber-length format fits standard drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld power drills. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and general trade applications where a reliable HSS bit in a smaller size is required. Sold individually as a single-pack unit.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and heat resistance during hard-surface drilling
• Jobber-length geometry provides a practical balance of reach and rigidity
• R18 series design optimized for drilling hard and ferrous materials
• Size 6 wire gauge designation for precision small-diameter applications
• Compatible with standard drill chucks on most common drilling equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber-length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, magnetic base drills, and handheld power drills that accept round-shank bits.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade technicians familiar with proper drilling practices. Secure the bit fully into the chuck and verify it is centered before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety standards when drilling hard or ferrous materials. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent movement during the drilling operation.
