Precision Twist Drill 6001472 Taper Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001472 is a taper shank drill bit designed for accurate, clean hole-making in metal and general-purpose materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it offers reliable wear resistance across a range of drilling applications. The bit measures 0.4016 inches in diameter with a 3.4252-inch flute length and a 6.6142-inch overall length. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce thrust and improve centering on entry. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during cuts. This bit is sized to the DIN 345 standard and belongs to the Series 5ATS product line.

This taper shank drill bit is suited for use in drill presses, milling machines, and other machine tools equipped with a Morse taper spindle. The 1MT (Number 1 Morse Taper) shank allows direct mounting in compatible spindles without a chuck. General-purpose performance makes it appropriate for production shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is a single-piece unit packaged individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine before inserting or removing taper shank tooling. Clean both the shank taper and the spindle socket before seating to ensure full contact and prevent fretting. Use a drift key and soft mallet for removal — never strike the spindle or quill directly.
