Value Collection 01346675 Reduced Shank Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346675 is a reduced shank twist drill bit manufactured from high-speed steel and designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit features a 1-3/32 inch (1.0938 inch decimal) cutting diameter paired with a reduced 3/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard drill presses and hand drills that cannot accommodate the full cutting diameter. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a broad range of common materials. An oxide finish provides a baseline level of surface protection. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations.

This drill bit is suited for general fabrication, maintenance, and repair work in residential and commercial settings. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals when drilling oversized holes through sheet metal, structural steel, wood framing, or plastic enclosures. The 3 inch flute length and 6 inch overall length give adequate reach for most standard material thicknesses. The reduced shank design is especially useful when a larger chuck size is not available on the drill press or portable drill being used on the job.

Key Features

• 1-3/32 inch (1.0938 inch) cutting diameter for oversized hole applications
• Reduced 3/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• High-speed steel construction for durability under moderate heat and cutting loads
• Right-hand spiral flutes with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Oxide finish for basic corrosion and heat resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with standard 3/4 inch drill chucks on bench-top and floor-model drill presses as well as heavy-duty portable drills.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify the bit is centered before beginning a cut. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the exit side of the material to prevent bit grab or workpiece movement.
