Precision Twist Drill 6001190 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001190 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 47/64 inch (0.7344 inch decimal) diameter, a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for secure mounting in compatible drill presses and milling machines, and a 118-degree standard point angle. The bit is machined from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance. The spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. This bit is part of the Series 209 line and conforms to ANSI standards.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in machine shop, fabrication, and industrial environments. The 2MT taper shank seats directly into drill press spindles, lathes, and milling machine quills equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper socket, eliminating the need for a separate chuck. Right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral geometry make it appropriate for most standard ferrous and non-ferrous drilling applications. Web thinning reduces thrust requirements at the point, which is especially useful in harder materials or deeper holes.

Key Features

• 47/64 inch diameter (0.7344 inch decimal) for precise hole sizing
• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank seats directly in compatible spindles without a chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability
• 5-7/8 inch flute length supports a 4xD depth-to-diameter ratio
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip removal
• Conforms to ANSI standards, Series 209

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle or sleeve. Suitable for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with Morse Taper tooling. Clean both the taper shank and the spindle socket before seating to ensure full contact and prevent slippage. Drive the shank firmly into the socket by hand or with a soft mallet — never force with a steel hammer. To remove, use the appropriate drift key through the spindle slot; never apply side force to the flutes.
