Value Collection 01394105 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01394105 is a taper length HSS drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust at the start of the cut. The black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and helps reduce friction during operation. At 0.3543 inches (9.00 mm) in diameter, this bit suits a wide range of hole-making tasks encountered in fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. A straight-cylindrical shank allows it to seat securely in standard 3-jaw drill chucks.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments where general-purpose metal drilling is required. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful when working in recessed areas or deeper stock. The right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional drilling operations with handheld or bench-mounted drill equipment. Installation and use do not require special tooling beyond a compatible chuck and appropriate drilling speeds for the material being worked.

Key Features

• HSS construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry force
• Black oxide finish for moderate corrosion resistance and friction reduction
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Taper length body provides additional reach over standard jobber-length bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental taper length drill bit for use with standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 0.3543-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople using handheld or bench-mounted drill equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the bit runs true before drilling. Select drilling speed appropriate to the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid overheating the cutting edges. Allow the bit to cool between cuts when drilling hard materials to preserve edge life.
