Value Collection 01400068 Taper Length Drill 0.0938 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400068 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 measures 0.0938 inches (3/32 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle. The taper length body provides extra reach compared to a jobber-length drill, making it well suited for deeper hole applications where a standard bit falls short. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at entry and improves chip evacuation. Right-hand spiral flutes move chips out of the hole efficiently during cutting.

This bit is intended for trade and production environments where a longer reach is needed without stepping up to an extension-length tool. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use taper length drills when accessing recessed features or drilling through thicker stock. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks and collets without an adapter. At 0.09 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in both bench drill press and handheld drill driver applications.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose use across common materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web lowers entry thrust and improves chip flow
• Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during drilling
• Taper length body extends reach beyond standard jobber-length drills

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in 3/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation. Always power down and lock out the drill press or handheld tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if damage is found.
