Precision Twist Drill 6001086 Taper Shank Drill Bit 2MT

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001086 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in industrial and trade applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, this bit handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 0.6094 inches (39/64 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 8.75 inches and a flute length of 4.875 inches. The 2MT (Morse Taper 2) shank seats directly into compatible drill press spindles, lathes, and milling machine quills without a chuck. A 118-degree standard point with web thinning allows for accurate starting and reduced thrust. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and deep-hole drilling operations.

This bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die shops, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on drill presses, engine lathes, or vertical mills equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle. It performs well in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar structural materials at standard cutting speeds. The general-purpose classification makes it a reliable stock tool for production and repair environments where consistent hole quality at 39/64 inch diameter is required.

• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for direct spindle mounting without a chuck
• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• Oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• 118-degree standard point with web thinning for accurate starting and reduced feed pressure
• Right-hand regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications
• Meets ANSI standards; Series 209

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) spindle or tailstock socket. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this bit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians. Before inserting or removing the bit, power down and lock out the machine per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Clean the taper shank and spindle socket of chips and oil before seating to ensure proper contact and concentricity. Use a proper drift and mallet to remove the bit from the spindle; never use the quill feed to force ejection against a workpiece.
