Precision Twist Drill 6001050 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001050 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in shop and field environments. It carries a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) diameter, a 1MT (Morse Taper 1) shank, and a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning to reduce feed pressure at entry. The flute is a regular spiral configuration with right-hand cutting action. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable, standard-geometry drill for production or repair work.

This drill bit fits taper-shank spindles and drill press quills accepting a 1MT arbor. It is appropriate for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both manual and CNC drill press setups. The 7.25-inch overall length and 3.875-inch flute length provide adequate chip clearance for moderate-depth holes. The ANSI-compliant geometry and Series 209 designation make it a straightforward drop-in for facilities sourcing to print or matching an existing drill schedule.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch diameter with ANSI-standard geometry for predictable performance
• 1MT taper shank fits standard Morse Taper 1 drill press and lathe spindles
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous drilling
• Oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces galling during cutting
• Regular spiral, right-hand cut with 3.875-inch flute length for adequate chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill press quills, lathes, and milling machine spindles equipped with a Morse Taper 1 socket. Suitable for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with taper-shank tooling. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Ensure the 1MT taper and the spindle socket are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating to prevent fretting and runout. Do not use a Morse Taper sleeve adapter beyond its rated capacity, and verify the bit is fully seated before applying cutting pressure.
