Precision Twist Drill 6002738 Jobber Drill Bit 1/16 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6002738 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/16 inch in diameter, matching the 0.0625-inch bit diameter. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.75 inches, this bit is suited for close-quarters and precision drilling tasks. It is part of the D33F series and conforms to ANSI standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking trades rely on this size for fine-detail work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials, making it a versatile option for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The regular spiral flute promotes chip evacuation during drilling, and the tapered web configuration adds strength at the core. With a 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio and no coolant-through capability, this bit is intended for conventional drilling operations using standard cutting fluids or dry drilling as appropriate to the workpiece material.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drilling operations. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped or fixtured before starting. Power down the machine and disconnect it from its power source before changing or inspecting bits. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend bit life and improve hole quality.
