Value Collection 01395607 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01395607 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 0.4724-inch (12 mm) diameter and a 118-degree standard point angle ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish. The black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during operation. Web thinning at the tip reduces thrust and improves cutting performance on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need reliable general-purpose performance in a taper length configuration.

The taper length body provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit while maintaining rigidity. This makes it appropriate for through-hole drilling on thicker stock, reaching recessed locations, or applications where a jobber bit falls short. The right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips consistently during cuts. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills where the chuck accepts a straight shank.

Key Features

• 0.4724-inch (12 mm) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for general-purpose cutting performance
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust and improves drilling efficiency
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and hand-held power drills that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press or power tool operation. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before beginning a cut. Operate at a feed rate and spindle speed appropriate for the workpiece material to avoid premature wear or tip damage.
