Value Collection 01401017 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01401017 is a taper length drill bit designed for professionals who need extended reach beyond a standard jobber-length drill. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it measures 1.0156 inches (1-1/64 inches) in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle for reliable center-starting on a wide range of materials. The spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling. At 11.125 inches overall length with a 6.5-inch flute length, this bit handles deeper bores than a standard-length drill without requiring an extension. Machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance mechanics turn to taper length bits for structural steel, plate, and fabrication work.

This drill bit is suited for drilling through ferrous metals, mild steel, cast iron, and similar materials in both production and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments. The taper length geometry makes it a practical choice when a jobber drill cannot reach the full depth of a workpiece, such as drilling through thick plate, deep flanges, or stacked material. The black oxide finish provides a light layer of corrosion resistance and reduces surface friction during cutting.

Key Features

• 1.0156-inch (1-1/64-inch) diameter for large-bore drilling applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for reliable starting and general-purpose use
• HSS construction withstands heat generated during high-speed drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• 6.5-inch spiral flute length supports chip clearance in deep-hole operations
• 11.125-inch overall length provides extended reach compared to jobber-length drills

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and magnetic-base drills equipped with a Morse taper or suitable chuck accepting a 1-1/64-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with rotating cutting tools and machine tool operation. Always power down and lock out the machine before installing or removing a drill bit. Secure the bit fully in the chuck or taper sleeve and confirm there is no runout before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain safe operating temperatures.
