Value Collection 01403096 Extra Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01403096 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits cannot reach. Built from general-purpose HSS with an oxide finish, this bit features a 0.1406 inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a 10 inch overall length with a 7.5 inch flute length. The extended reach makes it well-suited for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance tasks that require drilling through thick stock or into recessed areas. It is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working with drill presses, hand drills, or milling setups.

This drill bit is appropriate for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials. The extra length configuration is commonly used in production shops, tool rooms, and field maintenance environments where access depth is a constraint. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry are standard for conventional drilling operations across a wide range of materials and machine types.

Key Features

• 0.1406 inch diameter with 10 inch overall length for deep-reach drilling
• 7.5 inch flute length maximizes chip evacuation in deep holes
• 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose metalworking
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for wear resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves cutting efficiency
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute regular spiral for conventional drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1406 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a calibrated drill chuck before operation and verify chuck tightness to prevent slippage during extended-reach drilling. Reduce feed rate and use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and prevent heat buildup. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed settings.
