It measures 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches) in diameter and features a 2MT (Morse Taper 2) shank for secure, self-holding mounting in compatible spindles and tailstocks. The 135-degree notched point reduces walking on entry and requires less thrust than a 118-degree point. A gold oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance. This bit is manufactured from high speed steel and is suited for machinists, toolroom operators, and maintenance technicians working on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is built for use in production and maintenance environments where a Morse Taper 2 spindle is available. Typical applications include drilling through steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials in both shop and field settings. The spiral flute and web-thinned point design support efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. It follows ANSI standards and belongs to the Series 209CO line, which is oriented toward high-performance tooling for demanding metal-cutting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches) cutting diameter for a wide range of standard hole sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2MT Morse Taper 2 shank for self-holding fit in compatible spindles and tailstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree notched point reduces entry walking and lowers required thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned design improves chip flow and reduces cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold oxide finish provides mild lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for high-performance metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, regular spiral flute, ANSI-compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any drill press, lathe tailstock, or milling machine spindle that accepts a Morse Taper 2 (2MT) shank.

Before mounting or removing the bit, power down and lock out the machine per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Seat the taper shank fully into the spindle socket and confirm it is secure before running the spindle. Use a drift key in the spindle slot to remove the bit — do not strike the bit directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches (7\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2MT (Morse Taper 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Notched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 209CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6000869\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700303233330,"sku":"6000869","price":80.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c43c74091b64dd696050f4ac10728a61_b9eca63a-29f5-4abd-808f-511c0d6df151.jpg?v=1788388720","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000869-taper-shank-drill-bit-7-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
