Value Collection 01400134 Taper Length Drill 13/64 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400134 is a taper length high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. It measures 0.2031 inches (13/64 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it suitable for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and helps reduce friction during cutting. At 6 inches overall length, it reaches deeper into workpieces than a jobber-length bit without sacrificing rigidity. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance at the tip and improves chip evacuation.

This drill bit is suited for machinists, tool and die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial tradespeople working in fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and plumbing rough-in where extended reach is needed. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without any adapter. The right-hand spiral flute with regular helix geometry is appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole drilling in common ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction handles moderate heat and wear during drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic corrosion protection
• Web-thinned, tapered web lowers thrust force and improves chip flow at entry
• Taper length body at 6 inches overall gives extended reach vs. jobber-length bits
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks directly

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck or drill press capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 13/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, or qualified tradespeople using a drill press, hand drill, or mill with an appropriate chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA standards when operating rotating equipment.
