It features a 0.5-inch diameter, a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank for secure spindle engagement, and a 118-degree standard point angle for accurate hole entry on a wide range of workpiece materials. The oxide finish provides moderate lubricity and corrosion resistance during operation. At 8.25 inches overall length with a 4.375-inch spiral flute, this bit is suited for drilling through moderate stock depth with consistent chip evacuation. Right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral geometry support standard drill press and lathe operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is built for general-purpose metal drilling in production shops, maintenance environments, and tool rooms. The 2MT taper shank mates directly with drill press quills, lathe tailstocks, and milling machine spindles equipped with a No. 2 Morse taper socket or sleeve. It is appropriate for use on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials where a half-inch through-hole is required. The web-thinned point reduces thrust requirements at breakthrough, making it practical for both manual and CNC-assisted drilling cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch (1\/2 inch) diameter with 4.375-inch flute length for moderate-depth drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for direct spindle mounting without a drill chuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish for improved lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards; Series 209\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with drill presses, lathe tailstocks, and milling machine spindles fitted with a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) socket or adapter sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle or tailstock is fully powered down and at rest before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank taper and the receiving socket with a clean cloth before insertion to ensure full taper contact and prevent slippage under load. A drift key and drift slot should be used for proper removal — do not strike the bit directly to dislodge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2MT (No. 2 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.375 inches\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: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard, Web-Thinned\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\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 209\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: 6000998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710575182130,"sku":"6000998","price":58.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/91f3c7609b9c9ca5a8425dc07c240c2d_e39b778f-3608-4630-be14-0762c069d02a.jpg?v=1788468362","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6000998-taper-shank-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
