Value Collection 261012 Aircraft Extension Drill Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261012 is a carbide-tipped aircraft extension drill bit designed for drilling in hard-to-reach areas where standard-length bits fall short. Built to a 6-inch overall length with a 3/16-inch diameter, this bit features a 135-degree split point that is self-centering, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on entry. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust during drilling and improves chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated finish makes it suitable for general-purpose drilling applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed trades and aerospace maintenance technicians are the typical users of this tool.

This drill bit is suited for use in tight clearance zones on aircraft structures, ductwork, mechanical assemblies, and structural panels where extended reach is required. The 2-5/16-inch spiral flute length and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard right-hand drill motors and air drills commonly used in aviation, HVAC, sheet metal, and general mechanical trades. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.

Installation Notes

Install and use by qualified machinists, aircraft maintenance technicians, or trade professionals familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the workpiece before drilling and ensure the drill chuck is properly tightened on the shank before operation. Do not exceed the rated speed for the bit diameter and material being drilled. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure loose clothing when operating any rotary drill.
