Precision Twist Drill 6000194 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000194 is a taper length, high speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. It carries a wire gauge size of #51, equal to 0.0670 inches in diameter, with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the cutting edge ready for use without additional treatment. With a 2-inch spiral flute length and an overall length of 3.75 inches, this bit is suited for reaching into workpieces where a jobber-length bit falls short. Right-hand cut with a straight shank, it seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters.

This drill bit is built for professional trades that require consistent hole quality in a variety of base materials. The Series R52 taper length geometry is commonly used in metalworking and fabrication environments, as well as in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where drilling through structural metals, castings, or alloys is required. Compatible materials include 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.

Key Features

• Wire gauge #51 diameter at 0.0670 inches for precise small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for accurate starting on flat and curved surfaces
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and extends tool life
• 2-inch flute length provides a 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for deeper reach than jobber-length bits
• Bright, uncoated high speed steel construction suits general-purpose use across metals and non-metals
• Straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0670-inch straight shank; suitable for hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling applications requiring a #51 wire gauge taper length bit conforming to ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the power source fully disconnected or the drill press at a complete stop. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before beginning a cut. When drilling hardened or stainless steel, use appropriate cutting fluid to manage heat and preserve the cutting edge. Dispose of worn bits properly, as broken high speed steel fragments present a safety hazard.
