Value Collection 01392307 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392307 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a high-speed steel (HSS) construction with a black oxide finish that reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during operation. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. At 0.2126 inches (5.40 mm) in diameter, this bit is sized for precision hole work where a standard jobber length would be too short and an extra-long bit would be unnecessary. Installation and use require no special tooling beyond a compatible drill chuck. This bit is sold individually and suited for shop or field use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals.

This taper length drill bit is intended for use in hand-held electric drills, drill presses, and similar rotary drive equipment. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. The right-hand spiral flute configuration evacuates chips efficiently in conventional clockwise-rotation drilling. With a flute length of approximately 3.58 inches (91 mm) and an overall length of approximately 5.47 inches (139 mm), this bit provides additional reach compared to standard jobber-length bits, making it useful for deeper holes or hard-to-access locations. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust force at the point and improves cutting efficiency in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides durability and heat resistance for general-purpose metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers light rust resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle works across a broad range of materials
• Taper length body gives added reach over standard jobber bits for deeper hole applications
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers required thrust force and improves point penetration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the appropriate diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by securing the straight shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. Always power down or unplug the drill before inserting or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling harder metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely before drilling to prevent movement and maintain hole accuracy.
