Precision Twist Drill 6001058 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001058 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose metal drilling in machine shop and industrial environments. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse taper spindle. The bit measures 0.8661 inches (22.00 mm) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, a regular spiral flute, and an overall length of 9.75 inches. Web thinning reduces thrust load at the cutting tip, supporting cleaner entry and extended tool life across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance machining operations where a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank is required. It fits standard 2MT spindle sockets found on floor-standing and bench drill presses, engine lathes, and similar machine tools. The Series 5ATS designation and DIN 345 compliance make it a recognized choice for shops that specify international tooling standards. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 0.8661-inch (22.00 mm) diameter with a 118-degree standard point for versatile general-purpose drilling
• High speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat resistance and corrosion protection
• No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindle sockets
• Web-thinned point reduces cutting thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Regular spiral flute with 5.91-inch flute length provides efficient chip clearance
• DIN 345 compliant — meets internationally recognized tooling dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tools fitted with a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) spindle socket, including drill presses, engine lathes, and milling machines configured for taper shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Taper shank drill bits are installed and removed by a qualified machinist using a drill drift and mallet — never force the shank by hand. Ensure the taper socket is clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the bit to prevent runout and shank damage. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Secure workpieces firmly in a vise or fixture; never hand-hold a workpiece during drilling operations.
