Built to Series CO501-6 specifications, it carries a wire gauge size of 43, which corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.089 inches, and features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch. The straw finish indicates controlled heat treatment, and the two-flute spiral geometry with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation. This bit is sold individually and is suited for use by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople who require precision in tight-tolerance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling in metals, alloys, and composite materials where cobalt tooling is preferred over standard high-speed steel. The 6-inch overall length provides extended reach into recessed or obstructed workpieces, making it well-suited for aircraft structural work, sheet metal fabrication, and industrial maintenance tasks. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks, and the right-hand cutting direction is consistent with conventional drill press and handheld power tool operation. The 1.25-inch flute length delivers a 4xD length-to-diameter ratio appropriate for moderate-depth holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 43 with 0.089-inch decimal diameter for precision hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point geometry for self-centering starts on flat or curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material resists heat and wear in hard metals and stainless alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraw finish indicates tempered cobalt construction for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides extended reach for aircraft and structural applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to NAS 907 Type J standards for aircraft-grade tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style aircraft extension drill bit conforming to NAS 907 Type J standards, suitable for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.089-inch straight-cylindrical shank across drill press, CNC, and handheld power tool setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is installed and operated by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics using standard drill chucks or collet holders. Ensure the shank is fully seated and securely clamped before operation, and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard metals to preserve cobalt tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.089 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: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4xD\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.089 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: CO501-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 5996094\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694914208050,"sku":"5996094","price":19.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9a3e48cb1baf3e332194f6fb8f7c2a57_cfc5698f-e5f7-43ce-ad74-f6b9f6e3448f.jpg?v=1788329615","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-5996094-cobalt-aircraft-drill-bit-43","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
