Designed for drilling in tight or extended-reach applications, this bit features a 135-degree split point with web thinning for reduced thrust and self-starting entry without a center punch. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.043 inches in diameter, matching the cutting diameter, and the spiral flute length runs 0.75 inches. Weighing approximately 0.04 pounds, this bit is built for precision work in aerospace, sheet metal, and general mechanical trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use in hand-held drills, drill presses, and extended-reach drill drivers where a No. 57 wire gauge hole is required. The aircraft extension designation makes it appropriate for reaching into recessed areas or drilling through stacked material in aerospace fabrication, avionics work, HVAC sheet metal installation, and general mechanical assembly. The right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral configuration provide consistent chip evacuation in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Series 501-6 indicates an extension-length configuration versus a standard jobber bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 57 wire gauge cutting diameter: 0.043 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree drill point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose drilling in metal and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.75-inch spiral flute length with tapered web configuration for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank for use in standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to NAS 907 Type B standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit for use with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.043-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the chuck is tightened with a chuck key where applicable. Use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the bit for tip damage or chipping before each use, as small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage under side load or misalignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.043 inches\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: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.043 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 501-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 6001326\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715323003186,"sku":"6001326","price":24.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/242a725ff91a89d972c5cf595935e053_2aa45fa9-8c0d-4457-96dc-ed69184017d6.jpg?v=1788512058","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6001326-no-57-hss-aircraft-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
