Drill Bit Stanley STA53237-QZ 6 mm Diameter 76 mm Length

The STANLEY Drill Bit STA53237-QZ 6 mm Diameter 76 mm Length is a straight-shank twist drill designed for general-purpose drilling tasks. With a 6 mm cutting diameter and a 76 mm overall length, this drill bit suits through-holes and medium-depth drilling in common materials such as wood, plastics and metal sheets. The tool is manufactured to provide consistent hole size, stable cutting action and resistance to everyday wear for both professional and DIY use.

Advantages

This 6 mm drill bit offers precise diameter control and a balanced flute geometry to evacuate chips efficiently, reducing clogging and heat buildup. The 76 mm length provides enough reach for standard applications while retaining adequate rigidity to minimize bending and walking. The STANLEY manufacture process ensures uniform hardness across the cutting edges for predictable performance and longer service life under regular working conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes in wood for dowels, pilot holes and fittings
• Creating holes in plastic panels and components
• Light to medium drilling in thin metal sheets and brackets
• General-purpose workshop and household drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 76 mm
• Shank type: straight round shank suitable for standard chucks
• Drill type: twist drill for general-purpose use
• Material compatibility: wood, plastics, thin metals

How to use

Select the appropriate drill speed and clamp the workpiece securely before use. Insert the straight shank into a compatible drill chuck and tighten firmly. Begin drilling with a steady feed rate and moderate pressure, allowing the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw occasionally to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. For metalworking, use cutting fluid or lubricant as appropriate and slow the rotational speed to match the material thickness.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill speed and feed to the material: higher speeds for wood and plastics, lower speeds with lubrication for metals. Replace the bit when wear or chipping degrades hole quality. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
