It features a 43\/64 inch (0.6719 inch decimal) cutting diameter with a 1\/2 inch Weldon shank, allowing it to seat securely in standard 1\/2 inch chucks and milling-style holders. The 118-degree standard point angle suits everyday production and maintenance drilling. The bright, uncoated high speed steel construction offers reliable performance across a broad set of workpiece materials without the overhead of coated tooling. This bit is part of the Series R57 line and is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited to both shop and field applications where a full-shank bit will not fit the available toolholder. The reduced 1\/2 inch Weldon shank with three flats provides positive drive and resists slippage under load. With a 3 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length, it handles moderate drilling depth in structural steel, plate, pipe, non-ferrous metals, and synthetic materials. Right-hand spiral flutes with a regular helix clear chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e43\/64 inch cutting diameter (0.6719 inch decimal) with a reduced 1\/2 inch Weldon shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction — bright, uncoated finish for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flat Weldon shank prevents rotation in the holder under torque load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flutes — 3 inch flute length, 6 inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-standard geometry, Series R57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 1\/2 inch Weldon-style toolholders and end mill holders with set screws aligned to the three flats.

Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material where required, even though this bit is rated for dry cutting. Inspect the cutting edges and point for wear or chipping before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43\/64 inch (0.6719 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon, 3 flats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cermet, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel, Synthetic, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R57\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 6000180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693104791858,"sku":"6000180","price":71.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/111edff2768c324661ef70f54ecbab28_13e99501-4b2e-45f6-8ff2-90322ff53b4a.jpg?v=1788307382","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000180-reduced-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
