Precision Twist Drill 6001416 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001416 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. Ground from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance. The straight shank measures 0.1339 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter for straightforward chuck installation. With a spiral flute and right-hand cutting direction, this bit delivers consistent hole quality in both hand-fed and machine-fed setups. It conforms to DIN 340 specification.

This drill bit is suited for metalworking and fabrication applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light industrial environments. The taper length body provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit without sacrificing rigidity, making it well-suited for drilling through thicker stock or in confined areas where a longer flute is needed. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, malleable iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, high strength bronze, copper, magnesium, magnesium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, reinforced plastic materials, graphite, cermet, and hardened steel.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across a broad material range
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and aids chip evacuation
• Taper length body at 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides extended reach
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• DIN 340 specification compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit conforming to DIN 340, compatible with standard drill presses, milling machines, and CNC machining centers using straight-shank toolholders or conventional drill chucks sized for a 0.1339-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or collet holders. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before loading or removing the bit. Secure the shank fully within the chuck jaws to minimize runout. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish.
