Value Collection 01401033 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01401033 is a taper length drill bit designed for drilling operations that require extended reach beyond a jobber-length tool. Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit runs at standard HSS-compatible speeds and feeds without the added cost of a coated tool. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning applied to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without the need for a taper adapter. Machinists and maintenance mechanics reach for taper length drills when jobber bits fall short on deep-hole or cross-member work.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose through-hole and deep-hole drilling in mild steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar machinable materials. The right-hand spiral flute and tapered web configuration channel chips upward and out of the bore consistently. It is a practical choice for machine shops, tool rooms, maintenance departments, and fabrication environments where occasional large-diameter, extended-reach drilling is required. Coolant-through capability is not included, so flood or mist cooling applied externally is recommended for longer cuts in harder stock.

Key Features

• 1.0469 inch (1-3/64 inch) cutting diameter for precise, on-size holes
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning to lower entry thrust
• Taper length body provides extended reach compared to jobber-length equivalents
• High-speed steel construction handles a broad range of machinable metals
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for reliable chip clearance
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight-cylindrical shank up to 1.0469 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance mechanic familiar with large-diameter drilling operations. Secure the shank fully in a properly rated drill chuck or collet and confirm runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits or clearing chip buildup. External flood or mist coolant is strongly recommended when drilling deep bores or working harder materials, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
