Value Collection 01392703 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392703 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It measures 0.2441 inches (6.20 mm) in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle suited for a wide range of common materials. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish that provides basic corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks, and the right-hand spiral flute efficiently clears chips from the bore. A web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust and improves penetration.

This drill bit is suited for use in maintenance, fabrication, and trade shop environments where a reliable general-purpose bit is needed for through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful in applications where clearance is limited or deeper holes are required without an extension. It is appropriate for use with benchtop drill presses, hand-held power drills, and magnetic-base drills.

Key Features

• 0.2441 inch (6.20 mm) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose materials
• HSS construction with black oxide finish for corrosion and friction resistance
• Right-hand cut spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of the corresponding diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks or collet holders. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to starting the spindle. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
