Value Collection 01393602 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01393602 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in professional and industrial settings. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers solid wear resistance and reduced friction during cutting. It features an 8.00 mm (0.3150 inch) diameter, a standard 118-degree point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that promotes easier penetration and reduces thrust requirements. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks, and the right-hand spiral flute geometry efficiently evacuates chips from the bore. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the primary installers of this tool.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials in both shop and field environments. The taper length body provides additional reach beyond a jobber-length bit, making it useful for applications that require deeper hole penetration without the use of extension tooling. It is sold as a single unit, making it a practical option for replacement or supplementing an existing drill set.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for improved wear resistance and corrosion protection
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and entry thrust
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Taper length body provides extended reach for deeper drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use with standard drill chucks and drill presses accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the appropriate diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. Power down and de-energize any drill press or power tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
