Precision Twist Drill 6000119 Extra Length Drill Bit 3/8 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000119 is a 3/8-inch diameter extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for drilling applications that require greater reach than a jobber-length bit provides. Built to ANSI standards, it features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust. The spiral flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction produce clean chip evacuation across a wide range of workpiece materials. This bit is sized for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in metalworking, manufacturing, or mechanical service environments.

The 6000119 is suited for use on drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills where extra reach into deep holes or recessed areas is required. Its 8-inch overall length and 6-inch flute length provide a 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio, making it appropriate for drilling through thick stock or reaching fastener holes in deep cavities. Primary workpiece materials include aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, synthetic materials, and titanium. Secondary materials include stainless steel, hardened steel, nickel alloy, malleable iron, high-strength bronze, magnesium alloy, reinforced plastics, and steel.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter with matching 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• 6-inch spiral flute length provides efficient chip removal in deep-hole applications
• High-speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish for general-purpose use
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral, tapered web configuration per ANSI specification
• Series 860 design rated for a broad range of primary and secondary workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with any standard 3/8-inch or larger keyed or keyless drill chuck. Primary workpiece materials include aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, synthetic materials, and titanium. Secondary workpiece materials include hardened steel, high-strength bronze, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, stainless steel, and steel.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify the bit runs true before engaging the workpiece. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life, noting this bit does not have through-coolant capability. Reduce feed rate when breaking through the far side of the material to prevent grabbing or bit deflection. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety practices when operating drilling equipment.
