Precision Twist Drill 6000234 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000234 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials in industrial and trade environments. Built from high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 0.6250-inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The right-hand spiral flute and straight shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is well suited for machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need reliable, repeatable hole quality through metal and non-metal substrates.

The 6000234 is used in general machining, fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field drilling applications where a longer flute length is needed to reach deeper into a workpiece. The 4-7/8-inch flute length and 8-3/4-inch overall length give it more reach than a standard jobber bit without sacrificing rigidity. Suitable for use in drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills with adequate chuck capacity. Meets ANSI standards. Part of the Precision Twist Drill Series R51 line.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press, milling machine, or power drill with a chuck rated for 0.6250-inch straight shanks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous and hard materials to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for rotating cutting tools.
