Built to wire gauge size 3 (0.213 inches decimal), this bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch, reducing walkout on hard or curved surfaces. The oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. At 6 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch spiral flute, it gives technicians the reach needed in confined or deep-bore work areas. This is a right-hand cutting, general-purpose bit suited for production and maintenance drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in aerospace fabrication, aircraft maintenance, and structural metalworking where standard-length bits cannot reach the work surface. The extended overall length of 6 inches makes it practical for drilling through thick assemblies, bulkheads, or stacked materials. Licensed aircraft mechanics, maintenance technicians, and precision metalworkers are the primary installers. It conforms to NAS 907 Type B standards, making it appropriate for regulated aerospace and defense work environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point enables self-centering entry and reduces the need for a center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 3 (0.213 inches decimal) straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length with 2.5-inch flute provides extended reach for deep or confined bore locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles general-purpose metal drilling at standard cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to NAS 907 Type B for use in aerospace and regulated structural applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.213-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Always secure the workpiece and confirm chuck grip on the full shank before operating. Follow applicable workplace safety codes and relevant NAS or OEM drilling procedures for the material being worked. Do not exceed the recommended cutting speed for high speed steel bits when drilling hardened alloys, as overheating will degrade the cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.213 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: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.213 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\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: 0.042 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: 6001498\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691159650610,"sku":"6001498","price":16.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/242a725ff91a89d972c5cf595935e053_2b2985b8-6e4c-470b-aae0-61cc36c07e7e.jpg?v=1788280915","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-6001498-aircraft-extension-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
