Value Collection 01400050 Taper Length Drill 5/64 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400050 is a taper length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers improved heat resistance and reduced friction during cutting operations. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry resistance and improves chip clearing. At 0.0781 inches (5/64 inch) in diameter, this drill is sized for fine-diameter through-holes in a range of trade and production applications. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals are the typical users.

This taper length drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in light manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments. The taper length body is longer than a jobber-length bit, providing additional reach for deeper holes or awkward setups without requiring an extended-length tool. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks used on bench drills, drill presses, and hand drills. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and use. It is appropriate for use in both production and one-off applications where a 5/64-inch hole is required.

Key Features

• HSS construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut spiral flute for conventional drilling operation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks without an adapter

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks on drill presses, bench drills, and hand-held power drills accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal applications to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
