Value Collection 01392455 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392455 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 0.2244-inch (5.70 mm) diameter and a 118-degree standard point angle, making it suitable for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, the bit offers improved lubricity and moderate corrosion resistance during use. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the point. This bit is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with standard drilling equipment.

This taper length drill bit is suited for shop floor, maintenance, and light production environments where additional flute length is needed beyond a jobber-length bit. The longer flute length of 91.00 mm and overall length of 139 mm allow drilling in deeper workpieces or in situations where reach is a factor. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, and the right-hand spiral flute provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations.

Key Features

• 0.2244-inch (5.70 mm) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry
• HSS construction for durability across common shop materials
• Black oxide finish improves lubricity and mild corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces point thrust and improves penetration
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and milling machines equipped with a drill chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out. Secure the shank fully within the chuck jaws and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges and point for wear or damage before each use; a damaged point can affect hole accuracy and increase the risk of breakage.
