Drill bit STANLEY STA53000 6 mm x 200 mm, twist drill, 1 pc

STANLEY STA53000 is a 6 mm diameter twist drill with a 200 mm overall length, supplied as a single-piece bit for use in standard handheld and bench drills. The long-reach design provides extended access for drilling tasks where extra depth or clearance is required, and the twist geometry suits routine drilling in common workshop materials. The bit is compatible with standard three-jaw chucks and is intended for general-purpose use.

Advantages

The 200 mm length offers increased reach compared with standard-length bits, reducing the need for extensions when drilling deep holes. A 6 mm cutting diameter provides a common, easy-to-replace size for fitting dowels, bolts, and through-holes. The single-piece twist construction ensures straightforward mounting and stable rotation in standard chucks. The bit is versatile for a range of routine tasks where a long, reliable drill is required.

Suitable for

• Drilling long, straight holes in metal components where access is limited
• Creating through-holes in wood for dowels, bolts or wiring runs
• Drilling plastic parts that require deep or recessed holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 200 mm
• Type: Twist drill (single-piece)
• Compatibility: Standard three-jaw drill chucks
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed and clamp the workpiece securely before inserting the STANLEY STA53000 bit into the drill chuck. Tighten the chuck firmly to prevent slippage. Use steady, even pressure while drilling; avoid excessive force that could cause bit flexing or breakage given the extended length. For metal and plastic, apply cutting fluid or lubricant as recommended for the material to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. Retract the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the 6 mm x 200 mm twist drill in drills with good chuck alignment and minimal runout. When drilling hard metals, reduce speed and use suitable coolant; when working in wood or plastic, moderate speeds and sharp bits will produce cleaner holes. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use and replace when dull or chipped.
