Value Collection 01392653 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392653 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. It measures 0.2402 inches (6.10 mm) in diameter and features a standard 118-degree point angle suited for most common drilling applications. The right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the web-thinned construction reduces cutting force at entry. Machinists, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians typically use this bit in drill presses and portable drill motors.

This drill bit fits standard straight-cylindrical shank chucks and is intended for use in residential and light commercial maintenance, fabrication shops, and field service applications. The taper length body — longer than a jobber-length bit — provides additional reach for applications where standard-length bits fall short. With a flute length of 97.00 mm (approximately 3.82 inches) and an overall length of 148 mm (approximately 5.83 inches), it handles moderate-depth holes without the flex associated with extra-long series bits.

Key Features

• 0.2402 inch (6.10 mm) diameter for precise sizing in metric and imperial applications
• HSS construction handles a wide range of workpiece materials including mild steel and aluminum
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use on flat and slightly curved surfaces
• Web-thinned tip lowers thrust requirements and improves self-centering
• Right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any drill press, CNC drill head, or portable drill motor accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the corresponding chuck size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Power down and lock out all equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety and OSHA standards for rotating tool use.
