This Series CO501-6 bit measures 0.096 inches in diameter (Wire Size No. 41) with a 1.375-inch flute length and a 6-inch overall length, giving technicians extended reach in tight or deep-access applications. The 135-degree split point is self-centering, eliminating the need for a center punch on most materials and reducing walking on entry. A straw finish indicates the cobalt content and heat treatment applied during manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for aerospace, automotive, and industrial maintenance applications where extended reach is required. The extended shank allows drilling into recessed areas or through deep structural members that standard-length bits cannot reach. It is typically installed in handheld or machine-mounted drill motors by machinists, aircraft mechanics, and maintenance technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 6-inch overall length makes it particularly useful in aircraft fabrication and repair work where access is restricted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material for superior heat and wear resistance in hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with self-centering geometry reduces walking and eliminates center-punch step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach for deep or restricted-access drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute spiral design with web-thinned tapered web for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction; NAS 907 Type J standard compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose cobalt extension drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks compatible with 0.096-inch shank diameter tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by machinists, aircraft mechanics, or industrial maintenance technicians using handheld or bench-mounted drill motors. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened on the straight-cylindrical shank before operation to prevent slippage. When drilling hard alloys, use appropriate cutting fluid to manage heat buildup and extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.096 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.096 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: CO501-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 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: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5996088\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694310785330,"sku":"5996088","price":15.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9a3e48cb1baf3e332194f6fb8f7c2a57_4859307e-e7e3-4479-8211-2678b94b9919.jpg?v=1788322941","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996088-cobalt-aircraft-extension-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
