Value Collection 01391853 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01391853 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers adequate heat and corrosion resistance for everyday drilling tasks. The 118-degree split point is web-thinned to reduce walking on entry and lower feed pressure. At 0.1772 inches (4.50mm) in diameter, this bit covers common small-fastener pilot holes and through-hole applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication work.

This drill bit is suited for use in residential and light commercial maintenance environments where a taper-length bit provides additional reach beyond a jobber-length equivalent. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on both handheld and bench-mounted drilling equipment. The right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling in mild steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials. The regular spiral geometry is appropriate for a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials encountered in field and shop settings.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for heat and light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry pressure and bit walking
• Taper-length body provides extended reach versus standard jobber-length bits
• Right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation in through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters
• General-purpose grade suitable for mild steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use with standard three-jaw drill chucks in handheld drills, drill presses, and compatible machine tools accepting a straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by any trade professional using portable or stationary drilling equipment. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous materials to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed.
