Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended use. The bit measures 0.4688 inches (15\/32 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it well-suited for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. A web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this style of bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis taper length drill bit is intended for use in drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills in both shop and field environments. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it practical for drilling through thicker stock or accessing deeper holes without an extension. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial maintenance applications where a straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.4688 inch (15\/32 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common drilling materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.4688 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified maintenance technicians familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and verify chuck grip on the straight-cylindrical shank before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating drilling equipment. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4688 inches (15\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.27 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01400308\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698089853234,"sku":"01400308","price":31.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b80136c40b7d96fa084d2a870d18f448.jpg?v=1788357598","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01400308-taper-length-drill-0-4688-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
