Precision Twist Drill 6000265 Extra Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000265 is a high speed steel extra length drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits cannot reach. It measures 0.5469 inches in diameter with a 12-inch overall length and a 9-inch spiral flute. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry thrust and improve chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is sold individually and is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking trades requiring extended reach in production or field environments.

This drill bit is engineered for general-purpose metalworking across a wide range of workpiece materials. Primary materials include aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, synthetic composites, and titanium. Secondary materials include stainless steel, hardened steel, high strength bronze, malleable iron, nickel alloys, magnesium alloys, and reinforced plastics. The extended flute-to-diameter ratio of 12xD makes it particularly well suited for deep-bore operations in jigs, fixtures, structural components, and industrial equipment where standard drill bit reach is insufficient.

Key Features

• 0.5469-inch diameter with 12-inch overall length for deep-reach drilling

• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral and tapered web configuration
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bit geometry and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.5469-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for use in drill presses, milling machines, and handheld power tools rated for this shank size.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using drill presses, milling machines, or heavy-duty handheld drills. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and control heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use, and do not force a dull bit through material.
