Value Collection 261022 Aircraft Extension Drill Bit 11/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261022 is a carbide-tipped aircraft extension drill bit designed for drilling in hard-to-reach locations where a standard-length bit cannot access the work surface. At 11/32 inch (0.3438 inch decimal) in diameter and 6 inches in overall length, this bit is built for general-purpose metalworking applications that require extra reach. The 135-degree split point is self-centering, reducing the need for a center punch on most materials. A spiral flute design with web-thinned, tapered web construction promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces feed pressure during cutting. The bright, uncoated finish suits use across a range of common materials.

This bit is suited for aerospace-style access drilling, automotive bodywork, HVAC duct fabrication, and general sheet metal or structural work where extended reach is required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Right-hand cutting direction and a 3-7/16 inch flute length make this bit a practical option for trades and maintenance technicians working in confined or obstructed spaces. It meets NAS 907 standards, making it appropriate for use in applications where dimensional and performance compliance is required.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped construction provides hardness and wear resistance on tough materials
• 135-degree split point is self-centering, reducing walkoff on flat surfaces
• 6-inch overall length extends reach into confined or obstructed work areas
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces cutting resistance and improves chip flow
• Spiral flute with right-hand cutting direction for standard drill operation
• Meets NAS 907 standard for dimensional and performance compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft extension drill bit with a straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks accepting 11/32 inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

Install into a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated and securely tightened before use. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Use cutting fluid on harder materials to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, as damaged carbide tips can affect hole quality and may cause bit breakage.
