Value Collection 01400480 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.75in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400480 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The 0.75-inch diameter bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust at entry and improves chip clearance. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 9.75 inches overall length, it reaches deeper into workpieces than a jobber-length bit, making it the right choice where extra reach is required without stepping up to a full extension bit.

This taper length drill bit is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where 0.75-inch holes are drilled in steel plate, structural stock, or similar materials. The right-hand spiral flute design works with standard drill press, lathe turret, or hand-held drill motor setups. Its general-purpose grade makes it a practical stock item for shops that cycle through 3/4-inch tooling regularly.

Key Features

• 0.75-inch (3/4 inch) diameter HSS construction for durability in metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for compatibility with standard drill setups
• Taper length body at 9.75 inches overall provides extended reach vs. jobber-length bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and tool holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in 0.75-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool operator familiar with drill press or power tool safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened on the straight-cylindrical shank before operation. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life, keeping in mind this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
