Precision Twist Drill 6001029 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001029 is a taper shank drill bit designed for accurate, high-torque drilling in metalworking and machining applications. It measures 0.7283 inches (18.50 mm) in diameter with a 9.1563-inch overall length and a 5.3125-inch spiral flute length. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish and features a standard 118-degree point angle with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve penetration. A 2MT (Morse Taper No. 2) shank provides positive drive engagement in compatible drill press spindles and milling machine quills. This bit conforms to DIN 345 standards and is suited for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This taper shank drill bit is used in machine shop environments, maintenance and repair operations, and production drilling on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle. The right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications. It is intended for use by machinists, tool and die technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics working with steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. Coolant-through capability is not available on this model.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool operators. Clean the Morse Taper socket and shank tang thoroughly before seating to ensure full contact and prevent slippage. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Use a drift key and soft mallet to remove the bit from the spindle; do not strike the spindle housing directly.
