Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.1360 inches in diameter (wire size #29) and features a standard 118-degree point angle. The 3-inch spiral flute length provides extended reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for deeper hole applications where a standard-length bit falls short. Right-hand cutting with a regular spiral and a tapered web configuration, the 6000168 is web-thinned for improved penetration and reduced thrust at the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is designed for general-purpose shop and field use in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The taper length body offers additional reach without sacrificing rigidity, fitting applications in manual drill presses and hand-held drilling operations. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, industrial maintenance settings, and fabrication facilities where consistent, repeatable hole sizing is required across a variety of base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1360 inch diameter, wire size #29, straight shank matches standard drill chuck collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch flute length (6xD ratio) provides extended reach versus jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web design reduces cutting thrust and improves point penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute; bright\/uncoated finish suitable for most material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Series R52 taper length drill bit is compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, cermet, copper, graphite, hardened steel, high strength bronze, magnesium, magnesium alloy, malleable iron, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, and stainless steel.

Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before drilling and that the chuck is tightened fully on the straight shank before operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steels or stainless steel to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1360 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: #29\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1360 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R52\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\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: 6000168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695320039730,"sku":"6000168","price":22.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8ee9cab770ceb540eaa77f154e7c8d11.jpg?v=1788333868","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000168-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
