Precision Twist Drill 6000064 Reduced Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000064 is a reduced shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and a broad range of secondary materials. The bit features a 1-1/8 inch cutting diameter paired with a 3/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 3/4 inch capacity drill chucks without requiring a large-bore chuck. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, the 6000064 delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The 118-degree standard point angle makes it suitable for a wide variety of common drilling tasks across metal fabrication, mechanical, and HVAC sheet metal work.

This drill bit is built for trade and industrial use where a full-shank bit would exceed the available chuck capacity. With a 3 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length, it handles moderate-depth holes in ferrous metals including steel and iron, as well as aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, and synthetic materials. The right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation. Series R58 production standards ensure dimensional consistency for repeat-use tooling setups.

Key Features

• Reduced shank design: 1-1/8 inch cutting diameter on a 3/4 inch shank for use with standard drill chucks
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry and centering
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for positive chip removal
• 6 inch overall length with 3 inch flute length for controlled drilling depth
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids as needed

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit suitable for use in any drill press, magnetic drill, or handheld drill with a 3/4 inch or larger chuck capacity. Meets ANSI standards for twist drill geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by a qualified machinist, fabricator, or experienced trade professional. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed prior to starting. Always use appropriate workholding to prevent material movement during drilling. Eye protection and appropriate cutting fluid selection for the workpiece material are standard practice when drilling metals.
