Value Collection 01346808 Reduced Shank Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346808 is a reduced shank twist drill bit designed for boring large-diameter holes in metal, wood, and similar materials using standard drill chucks that cannot accommodate full-size shanks. The bit measures 1-7/16 inches in diameter with a 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to fit into common 3/4-inch capacity chucks while cutting at the full 1-7/16-inch diameter. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle suited for general-purpose drilling. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators rely on this type of bit for production and repair work on drill presses and floor-standing machines.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose drilling applications in shop and field environments. The 3-inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 3 inches, and the 6-inch overall length provides clearance for use in drill press setups and deep-reach fixtures. The right-hand spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. It is well suited for metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing rough-in, and general maintenance drilling tasks where oversized holes are required.

Key Features

• 1-7/16-inch cutting diameter with a reduced 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling with minimal walking
• Oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation and clean hole walls
• 3-inch flute length supports up to 3 inches of drilling depth per pass

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with 3/4-inch capacity chucks or collets.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespersons familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before operation. Power down the machine completely before changing bits or clearing chips.
