Precision Twist Drill 6001056 Taper Shank Drill Bit 7/32

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001056 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose metal drilling in professional shop and field environments. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, this bit cuts through steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials with consistent results. It carries a 1MT (Morse Taper 1) shank for secure seating in compatible drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand spiral flute geometry suit a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks performed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians.

This bit fits standard applications where a 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) diameter hole is required. The 1MT shank seats directly into Morse Taper 1 spindles without an adapter, making it a practical choice for drill presses and turret lathes found in production shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. The 6.0-inch overall length and 2.75-inch flute length provide adequate reach for most through-hole and blind-hole operations in light to medium stock thickness.

Key Features

• 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) diameter with right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and general-purpose materials
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use
• 1MT Morse Taper shank seats securely in compatible spindles without set screws or chucks
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose drilling applications
• Web-thinned point reduces thrust and improves penetration on initial entry
• ANSI-standard Series 209 geometry for predictable, repeatable performance

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse Taper 1 (1MT) spindle socket. Suitable for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of taper shank tooling should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or drifting the taper shank. Use a properly sized drift key and a soft mallet to remove the bit from the spindle — do not use the spindle quill travel to eject the bit unsupported. Inspect the taper surfaces for burrs or chips before seating to ensure full contact and prevent runout.
