Precision Twist Drill 6000277 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000277 is a taper length, straight-shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit has a 0.1130 inch diameter (wire size #33), a standard 118-degree point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces feed pressure and improves chip clearance. The spiral flute design and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard drill press and handheld power tool setups. It is well suited to production and maintenance environments where consistent, accurate hole sizing in mild to medium-hard materials is required.

This bit is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, high strength bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, cermet, graphite, and hardened steel. The taper length body -- longer than a jobber length bit -- provides additional reach for deeper holes without sacrificing rigidity. Typical applications include fabrication shops, HVAC mechanical work requiring precise pilot or clearance holes, and general maintenance drilling in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves penetration
• Bright/uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Taper length body provides 2.75 inch flute length and 5.125 inch overall length for extended reach
• Right-hand spiral flute with straight shank for compatibility with standard chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld power drills equipped with chucks accepting a 0.1130 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized chuck and verify shank seating before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking, especially on metal surfaces. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, hardened steel, or other hard alloys to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Dispose of worn bits in accordance with applicable shop safety procedures.
