The 135-degree split point geometry is self-centering, eliminating the need for a center punch and reducing walking on entry. A tapered web-thinned design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. This bit is installed and used by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, metalworkers, and general fabricators who need extended reach in steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6001180 fits into standard drill chucks via its straight-cylindrical shank, which shares the same 23\/64 inch diameter as the cutting end. With a 3.5-inch flute length and 6-inch overall length, it provides the additional reach needed when drilling through deep structural members, stacked sheet metal, or confined assemblies. The Series 500-6 designation places it within a standardized aircraft extension drill family built to NAS 907 Type B standards, making it a recognized fit for aerospace maintenance, structural fabrication, and general industrial drilling where extension length is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point is self-centering for accurate entry without center punching\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended 6-inch overall length with 3.5-inch flute length for deep-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered web with web thinning reduces cutting thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish reduces friction and provides light surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to NAS 907 Type B standards for aircraft and structural maintenance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series 500-6 aircraft extension drill bit conforming to NAS 907 Type B standards, compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of 23\/64 inch diameter.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as a damaged split point will affect entry accuracy and hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/64 inch (0.3594 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/64 inch (0.3594 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.083 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6001180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690594795826,"sku":"6001180","price":42.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb6be9261411d24f87b81aefb1284e34_a513e53a-91f8-4a8a-8837-82994c927b84.jpg?v=1788272305","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6001180-aircraft-extension-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
