Precision Twist Drill 6000747 Jobber Drill Bit 0.1772in Hss

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6000747 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. It measures 0.1772 inches in diameter with an overall length of 3.1496 inches and a spiral flute length of 1.8504 inches. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree split-point geometry with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust. Right-hand cut with a regular spiral and two flutes, this bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications performed by machinists, HVAC fabricators, electricians, and plumbers working with metal stock.

This bit is built for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. At 0.1772 inches diameter, it falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch size range common in sheet metal work, equipment fabrication, and trade service applications where precise, clean hole entry is required. The Series 2A designation and DIN 338 specification confirm it meets established dimensional and performance standards for jobber-length tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drilling operations. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before beginning a cut. Appropriate cutting fluid or coolant is recommended when drilling stainless steel, titanium, or other hard materials to extend bit life, though this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection during all drilling operations.
