Precision Twist Drill 6000616 Jobber Drill Bit 0.0492 in Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000616 is a jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Ground from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree point angle, a spiral flute with web-thinned geometry, and a straight-cylindrical shank measuring 0.0492 inches in diameter. The overall length is 1.496 inches (38.00 mm) with a flute length of 0.630 inches (16.00 mm). It is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications across metalworking, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and electrical installation trades.

This bit is intended for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. Its compact jobber length profile makes it practical for tight-clearance drilling scenarios common in field service and shop work. The Series 2A designation and DIN 338 specification indicate it meets recognized dimensional and performance standards for general-purpose twist drills. Right-hand cut direction is standard for use in conventional drill presses, hand drills, and rotary tools.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling with minimal setup
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup risk, easy to inspect for wear
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets DIN 338 and ANSI standards for jobber length twist drill geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement jobber length drill bit for general-purpose use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0492-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified technicians using standard drill chucks or collet holders. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the drill. When drilling hard materials such as stainless steel or superalloys, use appropriate cutting fluid and controlled feed pressure to avoid premature tip wear. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling operations are in progress.
