Value Collection 261013 Carbide-tipped Aircraft Extension Drill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261013 is a carbide-tipped aircraft extension drill bit designed for deep-reach drilling in metal, composite, and structural materials. The bit measures 13/64 inches (0.2031 inches decimal) in diameter with a 2-7/16 inch flute length and a 6-inch overall length, giving technicians the reach needed for airframe, structural, and hard-to-access drilling applications. The 135-degree split point promotes self-centering entry without a center punch and reduces walking on hard surfaces. Two right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently, and the bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose use where coating is not required.

This drill bit fits general-purpose applications where extended reach is essential, including aircraft structural work, automotive body fabrication, and industrial metalworking. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without adapters. The tapered web with web-thinning reduces thrust requirements, making it practical for handheld electric drills and drill presses alike. Licensed aircraft maintenance technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary installers. The bit meets NAS 907 standards, making it appropriate for aerospace and defense shop use where documented standards are required.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point is self-centering and reduces drill walking on metal surfaces
• Carbide-tipped construction extends cutting life on hard and abrasive materials
• 6-inch overall length provides aircraft-grade extension reach for deep or obstructed access points
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust force needed during drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without modification
• Meets NAS 907 standards for aerospace and structural shop applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 13/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for use in aerospace, automotive, and industrial metal drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Install and use this bit according to applicable shop safety procedures and tooling standards. Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped to prevent rotation. Wear appropriate eye protection and hearing protection when drilling metal. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if carbide tips show chipping or wear that would compromise hole quality or dimensional accuracy.
