Precision Twist Drill 6000141 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000141 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of metals and materials. It measures 0.0995 inches in diameter with an overall length of 4.625 inches and a flute length of 2.5 inches. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree drill point, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight shank. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust during entry and improves chip evacuation. This bit is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with hand-held drills, drill presses, or CNC machinery.

The 6000141 is built for general-purpose applications across a broad material spectrum. It is rated for use in alloy steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, graphite, hardened steel, high strength bronze, magnesium, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, and stainless steel. Its taper length body provides additional reach compared to a standard jobber bit, making it suitable for deeper holes or setups where a longer flute engagement is needed without stepping up to a full extra-long series bit.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard drill point angle for general-purpose entry performance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip flow
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Series R52 taper length body provides extended reach over jobber-length bits
• Meets ANSI standards for dimensional accuracy and geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation taper length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw chucks accepting a 0.0995-inch straight shank. Rated for drilling alloy steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, stainless steel, nickel alloys, magnesium alloys, and reinforced plastic materials per Series R52 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install this bit in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the material being drilled, particularly with stainless steel or hardened alloys, even though the bit does not have through-coolant capability. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before reuse and replace or resharpen when point geometry degrades to maintain hole quality and reduce breakage risk.
