Value Collection 01341239 Reduced Shank Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01341239 is a reduced shank drill bit machined from high-speed steel (HSS) and designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. The bit features a 1-23/64 inch cutting diameter paired with a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to run in standard 1/2 inch chucks without the need for a larger chuck capacity. A 118-degree standard point angle gives it broad compatibility across common drilling tasks. The oxide finish provides a basic level of surface protection and helps with chip evacuation during drilling. This bit suits machine shops, fabrication environments, and trade professionals who need reliable large-diameter drilling with standard tooling.

This drill bit is suited for stationary drill press and milling machine applications where reduced shank geometry is required to accommodate a 1/2 inch chuck while cutting at a larger diameter. The right-hand spiral flute design with a regular spiral type promotes consistent chip clearing during through-hole and deep drilling operations. With a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches, it handles typical structural and fabrication boring tasks in general-purpose materials without coolant.

Key Features

• 1-23/64 inch (1.3594 inch decimal) cutting diameter with 1/2 inch reduced shank for standard chuck compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance under normal drilling loads
• Oxide finish aids chip flow and provides basic surface protection
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• No coolant required, simplifying setup in drill press and manual machine applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with any drill press, milling machine, or lathe tailstock equipped with a 1/2 inch chuck capacity.

Installation Notes

Install in a 1/2 inch keyed or keyless chuck and verify the shank is fully seated before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed selection based on material type and bit diameter.
