Precision Twist Drill 6001193 Taper Shank Drill Bit 49/64

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001193 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in professional shop and industrial environments. It measures 49/64 inch (0.7656 inches) in diameter and seats into a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) spindle, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. The bit is manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) with an oxide finish that provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The standard 118-degree point angle is suited for drilling a wide range of metals and general materials. Installation and use are handled by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

This taper shank drill bit is used in fixed-spindle machine tools where a straight-shank chuck is not present. Typical applications include production drilling, maintenance shops, and fabrication environments requiring consistent, repeatable hole sizes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The right-hand spiral flute with regular helix clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. The web-thinned point reduces thrust requirements at the start of the cut. It conforms to ANSI standards and fits Series 209 tooling.

Key Features

• 49/64 inch (0.7656 inches) diameter for precise, standard-size hole applications
• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank seats directly in compatible machine spindles without a chuck
• High Speed Steel construction withstands heat generated during continuous drilling operations
• Oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides mild corrosion protection
• Web-thinned standard point lowers entry thrust and improves centering
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) spindle socket. Conforms to ANSI standards for taper shank drill bits.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance mechanic should install taper shank bits by seating the Morse taper firmly into the spindle socket by hand, then driving it home with a draw bar or soft mallet as the machine requires. Confirm the spindle is fully de-energized and at a complete stop before inserting or removing the bit. Use a taper drift and drift slot to release the bit from the spindle — never strike the bit directly. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material and diameter being drilled before starting the cut.
