Value Collection 01390707 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01390707 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, this bit resists corrosion and reduces friction during cutting. It measures 0.1024 inches (2.60 mm) in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle suited for a wide range of materials. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck retention in standard drill presses and hand drills. Web thinning reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. This bit is appropriate for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication professionals.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose shop and field use where a taper length body provides additional reach beyond a jobber-length bit without sacrificing rigidity. The right-hand spiral flute design moves chips up and out of the hole efficiently. With an overall length of approximately 3.74 inches (95 mm) and a flute length of approximately 2.44 inches (62 mm), this bit fits applications that require moderate depth capacity. It is a single-piece, individually packaged unit appropriate for tool crib stocking or direct job use.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across common materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip flow
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut spiral flute for conventional drilling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and milling machine setups that accept straight-cylindrical shanks in this diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install the shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely before operation. Secure the workpiece with a vise or clamp before drilling to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace when the bit no longer cuts cleanly.
