Value Collection 01401041 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01401041 is a taper length drill bit designed for drilling large-diameter holes in metal, fabrication, and general machining applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit delivers solid performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 1.0625-inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the cutting edge. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades working with drill presses or heavy-duty hand drills will find this bit suited to production and repair work alike.

This drill bit is intended for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and industrial manufacturing environments. The taper length body provides additional flute length compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful when a deeper reach is needed without switching to a longer extension. The right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and deep-hole drilling. It is sold individually and fits standard drill press and handheld drill chuck setups.

Key Features

• HSS construction with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose metal drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces cutting resistance and improves chip flow
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks
• Taper length body provides extended reach compared to jobber-length bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill press chucks and heavy-duty handheld drill drivers that accept straight-cylindrical shanks in the appropriate size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators operating drill presses or heavy-duty drill equipment. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before use and confirm the chuck key is removed before starting the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces properly before beginning any drilling operation.
