Value Collection 01400092 Taper Length Drill 9/64 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400092 is a taper length HSS drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish, it resists heat and light corrosion during extended use. The bit measures 0.1406 inches (9/64 inch) in diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust force at the tip. Overall length is 5-3/8 inches with a 3.0 inch spiral flute length. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks. This is a right-hand cut bit suited for conventional drilling operations on the bench or in the field.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose applications across trade and light industrial settings. Typical uses include drilling pilot holes, clearance holes, and through-holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, thermoplastics, and wood composites. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful in recessed or hard-to-access locations. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who require a longer flute length for deeper bore applications without stepping up to a specialty extended-length bit.

Key Features

• 0.1406 inch (9/64 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for strength and heat resistance during metal drilling
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• 3.0 inch spiral flute length with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and drill press load
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Right-hand cut with no coolant-through requirement for simplified operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or driver accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of 0.1406 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by any trade professional using a corded or cordless drill or drill press with a standard chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify chuck key is removed before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection at all times during drilling operations per standard shop safety practices.
