Precision Twist Drill 6000335 Jobber Drill Bit 0.0118 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000335 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal and hard materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a two-flute right-hand spiral configuration, and a web-thinned, tapered web design that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0118 inches in diameter, matching the cutting diameter. At 0.748 inches overall length and a flute length of 0.1181 inches, this is a purpose-built micro drill for tight, precise applications. Licensed contractors and machining professionals working in trade and light industrial settings will find this bit well-suited to close-tolerance work.

This drill bit is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It conforms to DIN 338 and ANSI standards and carries the Series 2A designation. The 10xD flute-to-diameter ratio is appropriate for general-purpose drilling in materials that demand a consistent, small-diameter entry point. Typical applications include pilot holes, instrument work, and precision component assembly where micro-scale drilling accuracy is required. This bit ships individually and is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 0.0118-inch cutting diameter for micro-scale precision drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for accurate self-centering on entry
• High speed steel construction rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium
• Two-flute right-hand spiral with web-thinned tapered web for reduced thrust and improved chip clearance
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks
• Conforms to DIN 338 and ANSI standards, Series 2A

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks that accept a 0.0118-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium in trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of micro drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a compatible drill chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is minimized to prevent bit breakage at this diameter. Power down the drill press or rotary tool completely before changing or inspecting the bit. At 0.0118 inches diameter, this bit is extremely fragile — avoid lateral loading and use appropriate feed rates for the workpiece material.
