Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 1\/16 inch (0.0625 inch) in diameter and runs 12 inches in overall length. The 135-degree split point is self-centering, which reduces walking on entry and allows drilling to begin without a center punch in most applications. The spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently during the cut. This bit is suited for use by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, electricians, and general trade professionals who need extended reach in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis aircraft extension drill bit is used in applications where standard jobber-length bits lack the reach required to complete the bore. Common scenarios include drilling through wall cavities, structural framing, aircraft panels, and sheet metal assemblies where the drill motor must stand off from the work surface. The 7\/8-inch flute length handles moderate material thickness while the 12-inch overall length provides the necessary extension. General-purpose tool performance rating makes this appropriate for mild steel, aluminum, plastics, and wood in both light industrial and field service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch overall length provides extended reach into deep or obstructed work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces bit walking on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a broad range of materials including mild steel, aluminum, and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance and reduces friction during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 1\/16-inch straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and operated by machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using a handheld drill or drill press. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before use to prevent slipping. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible wear or chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch (0.0625 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.875 inch)\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch (0.0625 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\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\u003eSelf-Centering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01010040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695870312754,"sku":"01010040","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eea91990aa1135ffaeba6354d5ade150.jpg?v=1788338923","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01010040-aircraft-extension-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
