Value Collection 01346816 Reduced Shank Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346816 is a reduced shank twist drill bit machined from high-speed steel for general-purpose drilling applications. The bit measures 1-15/32 inches in diameter with a 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 3/4-inch capacity drill chucks despite its larger cutting diameter. Overall length is 6 inches with a 3-inch spiral flute and a 2-1/4-inch shank length. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common materials. An oxide finish provides baseline lubricity and corrosion resistance. The bit weighs 0.2 pounds and cuts in a right-hand direction.

This drill bit is suited for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance operations where a large-diameter hole is required but the available spindle or drill press accepts only a 3/4-inch shank. The reduced shank design makes it practical on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and milling machines equipped with a standard chuck rather than a Morse taper socket. General-purpose tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and similar materials are typical workpiece candidates. It is used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians in shop and field settings.

Key Features

• 1-15/32-inch cutting diameter with a 3/4-inch reduced shank for compatibility with standard chucks
• High-speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in metal and similar materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility
• 3-inch spiral flute length with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Right-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank — no taper adapter required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with drill chucks and spindles accepting a 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians on a drill press, milling machine, or magnetic drill with a 3/4-inch chuck capacity. Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits.
