Value Collection 01390459 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01390459 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and light corrosion during normal shop use. The bit measures 0.0925 inches (2.35 mm) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it a conventional choice for a wide range of drilling tasks. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance professionals typically use this size for precision hole work in light to medium materials.

This drill bit fits standard drilling applications where a taper length geometry provides additional reach beyond a jobber-length bit without sacrificing rigidity. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in most standard drill chucks, CNC toolholders, and drill press spindles. With a flute length of approximately 2.32 inches (59 mm) and an overall length of approximately 3.54 inches (90 mm), it suits production drilling, fixture work, and general maintenance tasks in machine shops, fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• HSS construction handles the heat and wear demands of general-purpose metal drilling
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 118-degree standard point angle suits a broad range of common materials
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and common toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks, drill presses, and CNC toolholders that accept a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0925 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only when the drill, press, or machine spindle is fully de-energized and at a complete stop. Ensure the chuck or toolholder is tightened securely before beginning any cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if damage is present.
