Value Collection 01392604 Taper Length Drill Bit 6mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392604 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance environments. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish that reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle suitable for drilling mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials. With a right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced thrust during entry. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance machinists reach for this bit when standard jobber-length drills fall short of the required depth.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose applications in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and mechanical contracting environments. The taper length body provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit while maintaining rigidity for accurate hole placement. It is compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations using straight-shank tool holders. The 6.00 mm diameter makes it a common choice for metric fastener clearance holes and pilot applications.

Key Features

• HSS construction for durability across a range of metallic and non-metallic materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves hole quality
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, handheld drills, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks or collet systems. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to powering the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols during all drilling operations.
