Precision Twist Drill 6001315 1/16 in Hss Aircraft Drill

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001315 is a 1/16-inch diameter high speed steel aircraft extension drill bit designed for deep-reach drilling in aerospace, sheet metal, and structural applications. Built to Series 500-12 standards, it features a 135-degree split point that is self-centering and web-thinned, reducing the walking tendency common with smaller diameter bits and lowering the thrust needed to start a hole. The oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance. At 12 inches overall length with a 7/8-inch flute, this bit gives technicians access to recessed or obstructed hole locations that standard-length drills cannot reach. It is sold individually and is suited for professional use in production and maintenance environments.

This drill bit is used in applications requiring extended reach, including airframe repair, structural steel fabrication, and HVAC sheet metal work where fastener holes must be placed in tight or deep cavities. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. The right-hand spiral flute configuration clears chips effectively during extended drilling passes. General-purpose tool performance makes it appropriate across a range of materials including aluminum, mild steel, and sheet metal.

Key Features

• 1/16-inch (0.0625-inch) diameter with matching straight-cylindrical shank for secure chuck grip
• 135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces walking on curved or angled surfaces
• Web-thinned, tapered web design lowers cutting thrust and extends bit life
• 12-inch overall length provides extended reach into deep or obstructed work areas
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling across common metals
• Oxide finish adds surface lubricity and mild corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use aircraft extension drill bit conforming to NAS 907 Type B standards, compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 1/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by licensed aircraft mechanics, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the drill chuck and tighten properly before use. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the bit diameter and material combination, and discontinue use if the cutting edge shows signs of heat discoloration or chipping.
