Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it measures 12 inches in overall length with a 1.125-inch spiral flute. The 135-degree split point is self-centering and web-thinned, reducing the walking and thrust force common with standard jobber bits. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter is 0.086 inches, matching the No. 44 wire gauge drill size. Two right-hand flutes and a tapered web configuration promote chip evacuation during extended-reach cuts. This bit is suited for installation by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, and industrial trade professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6001401 is built for general-purpose drilling in sheet metal, structural aluminum, mild steel, and similar materials where standard-length bits cannot reach. The 12-inch overall length makes it practical for drilling through deep assemblies, structural panels, or access-restricted areas common in aircraft, HVAC equipment cabinets, and industrial fabrication. Series 501-12 designates this as a standard aircraft extension configuration conforming to NAS 907 Type B. The 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip clearance in through-hole drilling at extended depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 44 wire gauge size, 0.086-inch decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with self-centering geometry reduces bit walking on curved or angled surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch overall length for deep-reach and obstructed-access drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to NAS 907 Type B standards for aircraft extension drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and pneumatic or electric drill motors accepting a 0.086-inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is installed and operated by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, and industrial fabricators using handheld or stationary drilling equipment. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a compatible chuck before operation to prevent slippage under torque. Maintain appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the workpiece material to avoid overheating the HSS tool. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.\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. 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.086 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\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: 0.086 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point, Self-Centering\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, Right Hand\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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: 501-12\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: 0.042 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: 6001401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696748790066,"sku":"6001401","price":33.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/da3496e4617881f200db3c68936287ae_8901d8da-2106-4b7c-8915-3443db21a799.jpg?v=1788345820","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6001401-no-44-hss-aircraft-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
