Value Collection 01400621 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01400621 is a taper length drill bit designed for drilling through metals, steel, and similar materials in production and maintenance machining environments. It measures 0.9688 inches (31/32 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 11 inches and a spiral flute length of 6.375 inches. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this bit delivers reliable performance on a standard drill press, radial arm drill, or CNC drilling machine. The 118-degree point angle is a general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This taper length drill bit is used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production settings where a longer reach than a jobber-length bit is required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without adapters. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. Web thinning at the tip reduces thrust force at the point, which is useful when drilling harder steels or when working at the upper end of the bit diameter range.

Key Features

• 31/32 inch (0.9688 inch) drill diameter for precision sizing
• HSS construction provides toughness across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Taper length body extends reach to 11 inches overall for deep-hole work
• Web-thinned tip with tapered web configuration reduces entry thrust
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with cutting oils and coolants applied externally
• Right-hand cut spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any drill press, magnetic drill, or CNC drilling machine equipped with a chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank up to 31/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only with the machine fully powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck with a properly rated chuck key before operation. A machinist or toolroom technician should verify spindle speed (RPM) is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before drilling. Apply cutting fluid or coolant as required by the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.
