Value Collection 01393008 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01393008 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it measures 0.2677 inches (6.80mm) in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier center-starting and reduced thrust. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. At 0.02 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-piece bit suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in metal, wood, or plastic.

This drill bit is used in bench drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills for through-hole and blind-hole applications. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it useful for deeper bores or setups where a longer flute is needed. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during cutting. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial maintenance tasks where a general-purpose HSS bit is specified.

Key Features

• 0.2677 inch (6.80mm) diameter with 118-degree standard point for versatile material entry
• HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tip lowers required thrust and reduces walking on entry
• Right-hand spiral flutes promote consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks directly

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of 0.2677 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople using a standard drill press or hand-held drill. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and tighten all jaws before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Reduce feed rate when breaking through material to avoid bit grab or workpiece movement.
