Precision Twist Drill 6001421 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001421 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials. It carries a 0.2362-inch diameter, a standard 118-degree drill point angle, and a bright/uncoated high speed steel (HSS) construction. The taper length body provides additional flute length compared to jobber-length bits, giving greater reach for deeper holes without sacrificing rigidity. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at the point. This bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power tools on the shop floor or in the field.

The 6001421 is built to DIN 340 specification and belongs to the Series 5ATL taper length line. It fits applications in metalworking, fabrication, and general maintenance where a longer-than-standard flute reach is needed. Material compatibility covers a broad spectrum, including 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, cermet, graphite, and reinforced plastic materials. Right-hand cut spiral flutes are standard for conventional drilling setups.

Key Features

• 0.2362-inch diameter straight shank with 6.00 mm shank diameter for standard chuck compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web geometry for reduced thrust
• High speed steel construction, bright/uncoated finish for general-purpose use
• 3-19/32-inch flute length provides a 6xD flute-to-diameter ratio for deeper reach
• 5-15/32-inch overall length — longer than standard jobber bits for extended-reach applications
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for conventional drilling in most shop and field setups
• Conforms to DIN 340 specification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style taper length drill bit conforming to DIN 340 specification, suitable for use in standard three-jaw chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.2362-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, or maintenance mechanics. Secure the straight shank fully in a keyed or keyless chuck before use, and verify that the chuck jaw capacity accommodates a 0.2362-inch shank. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before inserting or removing the bit. Do not exceed the drill press or machine tool speed ratings appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
