Value Collection 01400191 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400191 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, this bit offers improved lubricity and corrosion resistance compared to bright-finish alternatives. It measures 0.2969 inches (19/64 inch) in diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust during entry. The flute length runs 4 inches, and the overall length is 6-3/8 inches. A straight-cylindrical shank provides secure seating in standard drill chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for this bit when a longer-than-jobber reach is needed without stepping up to an extended-length bit.

This taper length drill bit is suited for through-hole and spot-drilling operations on production floors, job sites, and maintenance shops. The right-hand spiral flute with a regular helix handles a wide range of materials at conventional feed and speed rates. The taper length body gives additional reach for deeper holes or setups where a standard jobber-length bit falls short. It is sold individually and fits any drill press, hand drill, or machining center equipped with a chuck sized for a straight-cylindrical shank at this diameter.

Key Features

• HSS construction rated for general-purpose drilling across metal, wood, and plastic
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web lowers entry thrust and improves chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length replacement drill bit for use in any drill press, hand drill, or machining center that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank at the 0.2969 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck 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.
