Precision Twist Drill 6001095 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001095 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose metal drilling in machine shop and production environments. It measures 21/64 inch (0.3281 inches) in diameter with a 6.5-inch overall length and is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction. The 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning allows for fast penetration and self-centering on flat surfaces. A right-hand spiral flute with a 3.25-inch flute length clears chips efficiently during drilling. This bit is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals using compatible taper-socket drill presses, mills, or lathes.

This drill bit is suited for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials in both production and maintenance-repair applications. The Series 209 design meets ANSI standards, making it a reliable choice for shops that require dimensionally consistent tooling. The 1MT (Morse Taper 1) shank seats directly into matching taper sockets without the need for a drill chuck, providing rigid tool-to-spindle contact that reduces runout during deep-hole drilling operations.

Key Features

• 21/64 inch diameter (0.3281 inches) with 3.25-inch flute length for a 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio
• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose metal drilling
• Oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion protection
• 118-degree standard point with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust
• Morse Taper 1 (1MT) shank for direct mounting in compatible taper sockets
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• ANSI-compliant Series 209 construction for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, and lathes equipped with a Morse Taper 1 (1MT) spindle socket. No drill chuck adapter is required for direct 1MT socket mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of taper shank tooling should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Clean the taper socket and shank mating surfaces before seating to ensure full contact and prevent fretting. Use a drill drift and mallet to eject the bit from the socket — never apply side force to the flutes or shank body. Confirm proper seating before initiating a cut.
