Value Collection 01392802 Taper Length Drill 0.2520 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01392802 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in professional shop and field environments. The bit measures 0.2520 inches (6.40 mm) in diameter with an 118-degree standard point angle and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish to reduce friction and resist corrosion. Overall length is 148 mm with a flute length of 97 mm. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC and plumbing installers who need a reliable general-duty drill for ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This taper length drill bit is used in general fabrication, HVAC bracket drilling, electrical panel knockout work, plumbing rough-in, and light structural applications. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it appropriate for drilling through thicker stock or in confined areas where a jobber bit falls short. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during through-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials.

Key Features

• 0.2520 inch (6.40 mm) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood
• HSS construction handles elevated cutting temperatures without losing hardness
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip flow
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks directly
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or milling machine equipped with a drill chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.2520 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist, maintenance tech, or qualified tradesperson using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Run at appropriate surface footage for the material being drilled — consult a speeds-and-feeds reference for HSS bits in the target material. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection during all drilling operations.
