Precision Twist Drill 6001120 Taper Shank Drill Bit 2MT

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001120 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in industrial and commercial shop environments. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bit measures 41/64 inch (0.6406 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and makes starting the cut easier. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of this bit. It complies with ANSI standards and runs in right-hand rotation.

This taper shank drill bit is suited for use in drill presses and milling machines equipped with a Morse taper spindle or adapter. The 2MT shank seats directly into a matching taper socket, providing rigid, self-holding alignment without a chuck. Typical applications include through-hole drilling, stepped boring operations, and production runs in metal fabrication and maintenance repair settings where a general-purpose spiral flute geometry is appropriate.

Key Features

• 41/64 inch (0.6406 inches) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 2MT (Morse Taper No. 2) shank for direct press or machine spindle mounting
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• Oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cutting direction; 5.125 inches flute length
• ANSI-compliant Series 209 geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses and machine tool spindles accepting a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank. Compatible with standard 2MT taper sockets and sleeve adapters per ANSI specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with Morse taper tooling. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank taper and the spindle socket of chips and oil before inserting to ensure full contact and prevent slippage. Use a proper drift key and drift slot to safely eject the bit from the spindle after use.
