Value Collection 01346873 Taper Length Drill 1.6562in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01346873 is a taper length drill bit designed for high-demand drilling applications in metal fabrication, machining, and industrial maintenance work. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit offers corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. It measures 1.6562 inches in diameter with a 6-inch overall length and a 3-inch flute length, giving it added reach compared to jobber-length drills. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and improve centering on flat or curved surfaces. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary users of this product.

This taper length drill bit is suited for use in production machining environments, tool rooms, and maintenance shops where deeper hole penetration is required without switching to an extended-length bit. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.75-inch diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders. Web thinning and a tapered web configuration make it appropriate for drilling into steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. Sold individually.

Key Features

• 1.6562-inch drill diameter for large-bore applications
• HSS construction provides durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides moderate corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for improved entry and centering
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and lathes equipped with chucks or collet systems accepting a 0.75-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before beginning the cut. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling. Refer to applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed recommendations based on workpiece material.
