Value Collection 01397207 Taper Length Drill 0.6693in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01397207 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for metal drilling applications requiring extra reach beyond a jobber-length tool. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the cutting edge. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without adapters. At 0.6693 inches (17.00 mm) in diameter, it suits through-hole and deep-hole drilling tasks across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling in shop and field environments. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cut make it compatible with conventional drill press, mag-drill, and hand-drill setups. The extended flute length of approximately 6.06 inches (154.00 mm) and overall length of approximately 9.25 inches (235.00 mm) make it the preferred choice when a jobber-length bit cannot reach the required depth. Machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians are the typical users.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides heat resistance and durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for reliable starting and balanced cutting forces
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Extended flute length accommodates deep-hole and hard-to-reach drilling applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without a special adapter

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks and mag-drill setups accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.6693 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with drilling equipment and safe operating practices. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm chuck jaw engagement on the full shank before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous materials to extend tool life and manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the point geometry is compromised.
