Value Collection 01346832 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346832 is a taper length drill bit designed for professionals who need extended reach beyond standard jobber-length tooling without moving to a full extended-length bit. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and surface corrosion during extended drilling operations. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning on a tapered web configuration, which reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation when drilling into steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. At 1.5313 inches in diameter, it handles large-bore applications common in metalworking, structural fabrication, and mechanical maintenance environments.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and fabrication environments where large-diameter holes in metal are required. The straight cylindrical shank at 0.75 inches in diameter accepts standard drill chucks and machine spindles without an adapter. The 6-inch overall length and 3-inch flute length give the tool clearance for deeper passes compared to jobber-length equivalents of the same diameter. Right-hand spiral flute geometry pairs with standard right-hand rotation on drill presses, CNC machines, and heavy-duty hand drills.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for heat and corrosion resistance during high-cycle metal drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust and cleaner chip removal
• Tapered web configuration improves rigidity and cutting stability at large diameters
• 3-inch flute length supports deeper bore passes with consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank at 0.75 inches fits standard chucks without adapters
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix angle compatible with conventional right-hand machine rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit taper length drill bit for use in drill presses, knee mills, CNC machining centers, and heavy-duty rotary tools equipped with chucks or collets accepting a 0.75-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of large-diameter drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or trained trade professionals. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before beginning a cut. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling or clearing chip buildup from the flutes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled to manage heat and prolong tool life.
