Value Collection 01393107 Taper Length Drill 0.2756in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01393107 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in shop, maintenance, and trade applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it offers moderate lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The bit measures 0.2756 inches (7mm) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle suited for drilling into mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip flow. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.

This drill bit is suited for production shops, maintenance facilities, and trade professionals who need reliable performance in general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole drilling. The taper length body provides additional flute length compared to a jobber bit, improving chip evacuation in deeper holes. The flute length measures approximately 4.02 inches (102mm) and the overall length is approximately 6.14 inches (156mm), making it well suited for applications requiring reach beyond what a standard jobber drill provides.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for improved lubricity and basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip clearing
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks directly
• Taper length body provides extended reach versus jobber-length equivalents

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on bench drills, drill presses, and hand-held electric drills used in metal fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill or drill press is fully powered off and the chuck is stationary. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or movement during operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits that show signs of chipping or excessive wear.
