Precision Twist Drill 6001047 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001047 is a taper shank drill bit designed for drilling precise holes in metal and general-purpose materials. It accepts a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank for direct mounting in compatible drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. The bit is ground from high-speed steel with an oxide finish for lubricity and light corrosion resistance during use. Key dimensions include a 63/64 inch (0.9844 inch) cutting diameter, a 6-3/8 inch flute length, and an 11 inch overall length. A 118-degree standard point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves chip clearance at the cutting edge.

This bit is suited for metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where taper shank tooling is standard. The right-hand spiral flute and regular spiral geometry handle a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials in general-purpose drilling applications. It conforms to ANSI standards, making it a direct fit for environments that specify dimensional compliance. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working on drill presses and manual lathes.

Key Features

• 63/64 inch (0.9844 inch) cutting diameter for near-1-inch bore work
• 3MT Morse Taper shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• 118-degree standard point with web thinning for reduced thrust on entry
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• ANSI-compliant Series 209 construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for drill presses, lathes, and milling machine spindles equipped with a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) socket.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified industrial maintenance technicians. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and brought to a complete stop. Clean the taper socket and shank of any chips or oil film before seating to ensure full contact and prevent drift during use. A Morse taper drift and mallet are standard tools for both seating and ejecting the shank; never strike the cutting end of the bit to force installation.
