Value Collection 01398601 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01398601 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, steel, and other common shop materials. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and light corrosion during use. The bit measures 0.9449 inches (24 millimeters) in diameter with a 118-degree split point and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip evacuation. A straight-cylindrical shank allows use in standard drill chucks. Licensed trades and machining professionals use this bit for through-hole and deep-reach drilling applications where standard length drills fall short.

This taper length drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in industrial, mechanical, and trade shop environments. The longer flute length compared to jobber-length bits gives greater reach into deep holes or workpieces with significant material thickness. The right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearing, reducing heat and friction at the cutting edge. General-purpose grade makes it appropriate for mild and medium-hardness steels, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service work.

Key Features

• 0.9449 inch (24 mm) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for heat and wear resistance
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling entry force and improves chip flow
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for standard drilling operations
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses that accept straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.9449 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified machinist or trade professional in a properly rated drill press, magnetic drill, or hand drill with sufficient chuck capacity. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel and ferrous materials to extend tool life and manage heat. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the material being drilled.
