Precision Twist Drill 6000365 Jobber Drill Bit 0.0177 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000365 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree point angle and a two-flute spiral configuration with right-hand cut. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust requirements at the point. With an overall length of 0.7874 inches and a flute length of 0.1969 inches, it is sized for precision work in tight tolerances. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter matches the bit diameter at 0.0177 inches, making it compatible with standard drill chucks used in industrial and maintenance applications.

This bit is suited for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The Series 2A designation and DIN 338 specification place it within a well-established standard for jobber-length tooling. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, maintenance environments, and light fabrication settings where small-diameter, high-precision drilling is required. The regular spiral type and general-purpose performance rating make it a reliable choice for production and repair drilling tasks.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Two-flute right-hand spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0177 inches for secure chuck retention
• Conforms to DIN 338 and ANSI standards for dimensional consistency
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids or dry drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit conforming to DIN 338 and ANSI standards, compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.0177-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by machinists or qualified trade professionals familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable limits, as small-diameter bits are sensitive to misalignment. Always operate at appropriate spindle speeds for the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid breakage. No coolant-through capability is present; external cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling steel or stainless steel.
