Value Collection 01392109 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392109 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. It measures 0.1969 inches (5.00 mm) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish. The black oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance during cutting operations. Web thinning at the tip reduces thrust force and improves penetration in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 0.02 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-piece tool suited for use in hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC setups requiring taper length reach.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose drilling tasks where standard jobber length bits lack sufficient reach. The taper length design provides additional flute length compared to jobber bits while maintaining rigidity for accurate hole placement. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, plumbing rough-in, HVAC bracket work, and electrical trade applications where drilling through deep stock or structural members is required. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks across a wide range of equipment.

Key Features

• HSS construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks on hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC machines accepting straight cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is properly tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling harder materials to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
