Value Collection 01402254 Extra Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01402254 is a high-speed steel extra length drill bit designed for drilling operations that require extended reach beyond what a jobber-length bit can provide. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 0.3906 inches in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material penetration. The spiral flute geometry runs 5.5 inches in length across an 8-inch overall length, giving machinists and metalworking tradespeople the extended cutting depth needed in deep-hole applications. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements at entry and keeps the cut running true.

This drill bit suits general-purpose drilling in metals, plastics, and similar materials where standard-length bits cannot reach the required depth. It is a right-hand cut, two-flute bit with a straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. Typical applications include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and any setting where deep-hole drilling is required with a 3/8-inch class diameter. No coolant-through feature is present, so conventional flood or mist cooling methods apply in high-production use.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across a wide range of general-purpose materials
• Oxide finish for improved surface hardness and basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile entry in metal and plastic substrates
• 8-inch overall length with 5.5-inch flute length for extended-reach drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks and collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.3906-inch diameter class.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists or maintenance tradespeople using standard drill press, milling machine, or handheld drill equipment. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before use to prevent runout. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is dull or damaged.
