Value Collection 01346857 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346857 is a taper length drill bit designed for heavy-duty drilling applications in metal, ferrous alloys, and other hard materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and reduces friction during extended drilling cycles. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of workpiece materials. At 1.5938 inches in diameter with a 3.0 inch flute length and 6.0 inch overall length, this bit delivers the clearance needed to drill deeper holes than a jobber-length equivalent. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation.

This drill bit is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where larger-diameter through-holes are required. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.75 inch (3/4 inch) diameter fits standard drill chucks on milling machines, drill presses, and heavy-duty power tools. Right-hand cut with a regular spiral flute, it is well-matched for production drilling and repair work where accurate, clean holes in larger diameters are needed. Licensed machinists and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary users.

Key Features

• 1.5938 inch (1-19/32 inch) drill diameter for large-bore applications
• HSS construction provides hardness and toughness at elevated cutting temperatures
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides moderate corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust and improves chip flow
• 3.0 inch flute length and 6.0 inch OAL for extended reach versus jobber-length bits

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, and heavy-duty drill chucks that accept a straight cylindrical shank of 0.75 inches in diameter. Suitable as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for industrial metalworking and maintenance drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or industrial maintenance professional. Secure the straight shank firmly in the drill chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Always reduce spindle speed appropriately for the workpiece material when drilling at this diameter, and use a cutting fluid to manage heat and extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use.
