Value Collection 01391754 Taper Length Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01391754 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in professional shop and field environments. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.1693 inches (4.30 mm) in diameter and carries a standard 118-degree point angle. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip clearing at the cutting tip. With a flute length of approximately 3.23 inches (82 mm) and an overall length of approximately 4.96 inches (126 mm), it provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit while maintaining rigidity for accurate hole placement.

This bit is suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where a longer reach is required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its general-purpose HSS construction makes it appropriate for production shops, maintenance technicians, and fabrication environments handling mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.

Key Features

• 0.1693 inch (4.30 mm) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• Taper length body provides extended reach beyond standard jobber bits
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction handles a broad range of materials
• Bright uncoated finish for easy wear monitoring during service life
• Right-hand regular spiral flutes promote consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks across drill press, hand drill, and CNC drilling setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with drilling equipment. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and confirm it is centered before operation. Always power down and isolate the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous materials to extend tool life and improve hole finish.
