The 135-degree split point is self-centering, eliminating the need for a center punch and reducing walking on hard or curved surfaces. The bit carries an oxide finish for basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. With a 2-5\/8 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length, it gives technicians and tradespeople the extended reach required for structural, sheet metal, and fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling through steel, aluminum, and similar materials in aircraft maintenance, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical rough-in, and general fabrication where access is limited and a standard jobber-length bit falls short. The Series 500-6 designation identifies it as part of a purpose-built aircraft extension line. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-drilling. The tapered web and web-thinned geometry reduce thrust requirements, which matters when drilling by hand or with a right-angle drill in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point is self-centering — no center punch required on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inch overall length provides extended reach for confined or deep-access drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, and general-purpose materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish adds baseline lubricity and light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered web with web-thinning reduces cutting thrust and bit deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type B standards for aircraft-grade tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or add-to-kit extension drill for any application calling for a 15\/64 inch diameter bit with a straight-cylindrical shank, including aircraft maintenance, HVAC sheet metal fabrication, and structural drilling where standard jobber-length bits cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement and bit breakage. Use cutting fluid on harder materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup.
