Precision Twist Drill 6001023 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001023 is a taper shank drill bit designed for heavy-duty metal drilling applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bit measures 0.8125 inches (13/16 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves penetration. At 10.75 inches overall length with a 6.125-inch spiral flute, it provides substantial reach for deep-hole work. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically install and operate this bit in drill presses or lathes equipped with a No. 3 Morse taper spindle.

This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments. The No. 3 Morse taper shank provides a secure, self-holding fit in compatible drill press spindles and lathe tailstocks without requiring additional toolholders. Right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral fluting support efficient chip evacuation in both through-hole and blind-hole operations. The bit meets ANSI standards and falls within the Series 209 lineup from PRECISION TWIST DRILL, making it a straightforward replacement or addition to an existing set of taper shank tooling.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified tool operator should install this bit. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle is fully de-energized and at a complete stop. Clean the taper shank and the spindle socket of chips, oil, and debris before seating to ensure full contact and accurate alignment. Never force a mismatched taper size; verify the spindle accepts a No. 3 Morse taper before installation.
