Precision Twist Drill 6000132 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000132 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling across a wide range of materials. It features a 0.1040-inch diameter corresponding to wire gauge size 37, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a bright uncoated high speed steel construction. The spiral flute geometry with web thinning promotes chip evacuation and reduces thrust during drilling. With a straight shank and 4.625-inch overall length, this bit is compatible with standard drill chucks. It is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals who need a reliable general-purpose drill in smaller wire gauge sizes.

The 6000132 is built for general-purpose applications across a broad spectrum of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, high strength bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, cermet, graphite, and reinforced plastic materials. It is appropriate for light production and maintenance drilling in shop, field, and manufacturing environments where a taper length bit provides additional reach beyond a jobber length configuration.

Key Features

• 0.1040-inch diameter, wire gauge size 37, for precision small-diameter drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry across a wide range of materials
• High speed steel construction provides durability in metal cutting applications
• Bright uncoated finish; no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerances
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance
• 2.5-inch spiral flute length at a 6xD ratio provides extended chip evacuation along the flute
• Right-hand cut, straight shank; fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length replacement or supplemental drill bit for use with standard straight-shank drill chucks in bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC or manual machining setups requiring wire gauge size 37 diameter. Conforms to ANSI standards per Series R52 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with drilling operations and cutting tool safety. Secure the straight shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before operation. Always match spindle speed to material hardness and bit diameter per standard machining references. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
