Value Collection 01400035 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400035 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended use. The bit measures 0.0469 inches (3/64 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 2.25 inches and a flute length of 1.125 inches. A standard 118-degree split point provides reliable centering on most materials. The right-hand spiral flute and straight-cylindrical shank make this bit compatible with standard drill chucks. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians commonly use this bit for precision small-diameter drilling operations.

This drill bit is suited for light industrial and maintenance applications requiring a small-diameter, taper length geometry. The extended flute length relative to a jobber-length bit allows deeper reach in confined bores. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements, which is especially useful when drilling harder materials. General purpose grade construction makes it a practical everyday choice for machine shops, fabrication facilities, and MRO applications where consistent small-hole drilling is required.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for heat and corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for a wide range of common materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Taper length body provides extended reach over standard jobber-length bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for use with standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills equipped with chucks that accept a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by licensed machinists or qualified maintenance technicians using standard drill chuck procedures. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.
