6 In Aircraft Extension - 1/16 In Dia x 7/8 In Flute - Qty 3 - Hanson

The Hanson 66704 Aircraft Extension Drill Bit is engineered for precision drilling in confined and hard-to-reach spaces encountered by professional technicians and mechanics. This high-speed steel (HSS) fractional straight shank drill bit provides extended reach, making it an essential tool for intricate drilling tasks in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications.

Key Features

• Extended Reach: The 6-inch overall length allows access to deep or obstructed areas, improving efficiency in challenging work environments.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for sustained sharpness and resistance to wear during demanding use.
• Optimized Point Geometry: Features a 135-degree split point, which enables quick, accurate starts and reduces bit "walking" on various materials.
• Robust Design: Incorporates a heavy-duty web for enhanced strength and rigidity, minimizing breakage under stress.
• Precision Ground: The 1/16-inch diameter and 7/8-inch flute length are precisely ground to ensure consistent hole quality.

Applications

These aircraft extension drill bits are specifically designed for tasks requiring extended reach and controlled drilling. They are ideal for creating pilot holes or enlarging existing ones in automotive engine compartments, behind dashboards, or within complex machinery where standard drill bits cannot reach. Common uses include running new wiring harnesses, routing cables through bulkheads, installing components in tight spaces, and general maintenance in industrial settings, including fleet maintenance and equipment repair.
