Precision Twist Drill 6001175 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001175 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The bit measures 0.6719 inches (43/64 inch) in diameter and carries a 2MT (Morse Taper 2) shank for secure mounting in compatible drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. Overall length is 9.25 inches with a 5.375-inch spiral flute. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand cutting direction make this a dependable general-purpose choice for machine shops and maintenance operations.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications where a Morse Taper 2 spindle is available. Common installation environments include machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance settings. The spiral flute geometry and web-thinned point reduce cutting resistance and improve chip evacuation on through-hole and blind-hole applications. It is sized per the ANSI standard for taper shank drill bits, Series 209.

Key Features

• 43/64 inch (0.6719 inches) diameter for precise hole sizing to ANSI standards
• 2MT Morse Taper shank for rigid, self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and easier starting
• Right-hand spiral flute, 5.375 inches long, promotes consistent chip removal

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation taper shank drill bit for drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse Taper 2 spindle or sleeve.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool and die technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully de-energized and locked out before inserting or removing the taper shank. Clean the taper bore and shank surfaces before seating to ensure full contact and prevent fretting. Use a drift key through the spindle slot to eject the bit rather than striking the shank directly.
