Value Collection 01398304 Taper Length Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01398304 is a taper length drill bit designed for professional drilling applications in metal, fabrication, and general manufacturing environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers corrosion resistance and reduced friction during operation. The 0.8858-inch (22.50 mm) diameter paired with a 118-degree standard point angle makes it well suited for drilling into a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Web thinning reduces the force needed to start the hole and improves chip evacuation. Machinists, millwrights, and tool-room technicians working on drilling operations where a longer flute is required will find this a dependable general-purpose choice.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling. The taper length body provides a longer flute than a jobber-length bit, giving deeper reach without sacrificing rigidity. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and drill press spindles. Right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip clearance. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and manual machine setups where a straight-shank taper length bit is specified.

Key Features

• 0.8858-inch (22.50 mm) diameter for precise, consistent hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and easier starting
• HSS construction provides heat resistance for extended tool life in metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Right-hand cut spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks and spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles that accept straight-cylindrical shanks of the appropriate diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm runout before drilling. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when operating any drill bit.
