Value Collection 01392208 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392208 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in shop and field applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended use. It measures 0.2047 inches (5.20 mm) in diameter, features a 118-degree standard point angle, and runs a right-hand spiral flute with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry resistance and improves chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for taper length drills when extra reach is needed beyond standard jobber length.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials in both production and maintenance settings. The taper length body provides additional reach for deeper hole applications where a jobber-length bit falls short. The black oxide finish offers a degree of lubricity that reduces friction during cutting. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in hand-held power drills, drill presses, and milling machines equipped with a compatible chuck or collet system.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides good hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust required at entry and improves chip flow
• Right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.2047 inch (5.20 mm) diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Ensure the drill chuck is tightened fully on the straight shank before operation. Use cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Wear appropriate eye protection in accordance with shop safety requirements.
