Value Collection 01391259 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01391259 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid wear resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The bit measures 0.1299 inches (3.30 mm) in diameter and features a standard 118-degree point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust. At 106 mm overall length, the taper length body provides greater reach than jobber-length bits without sacrificing rigidity. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool room professionals use this bit for production and maintenance drilling tasks.

This drill bit suits a wide range of general-purpose applications in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks on bench drills, drill presses, and hand-held power drills. The right-hand spiral flute geometry efficiently evacuates chips on through-hole and blind-hole operations. Web thinning reduces the chisel edge load, making it well-suited for hand-drilling applications where feed force must be minimized.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before starting the spindle. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and OSHA standards for rotating machinery.
