Precision Twist Drill 6001065 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001065 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it provides durability and basic corrosion resistance in standard shop and field conditions. The bit measures 9/32 inch (0.2813 inches) in diameter with a 6.25-inch overall length and a 3-inch spiral flute. A 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand cutting direction make it a straightforward, reliable choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with drill presses or lathes equipped with Morse taper spindles.

This bit is suited for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines that accept a No. 1 Morse taper (1MT) shank. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance applications as well as production shop environments. The Series 209 design follows ANSI standards and features web thinning to reduce thrust and improve chip clearance during entry. It is sold individually and is a practical stock item for shops that regularly drill 9/32-inch holes.

Installation Notes

Installation of taper shank drill bits should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with Morse taper tooling. Ensure the machine spindle and taper shank surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the bit. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Use a proper drift key and soft mallet to remove the bit from the spindle — do not strike the spindle housing directly.
