Value Collection 01406297 Taper Length Drill Bit Set 29 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01406297 is a 29-piece taper length drill bit set designed for metalworking and general-purpose drilling applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, these bits deliver reliable performance across a range of hole sizes from 1/16 inch up to 1/2 inch. Each bit features a straight shank and a standard 118-degree point angle, which is the industry-standard geometry for drilling into steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The set steps in 1/64-inch increments, giving technicians and machinists a complete progression of sizes without gaps. All 26 taper length drills store in an included metal case for organized access on the job.

This set is suited for metalworking and multipurpose drilling tasks in industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments. Taper length bits are longer than jobber-length bits, making them the right choice when additional reach is needed to drill through thicker stock or in applications where a standard jobber bit falls short. The 1/64-inch step progression makes this set particularly useful for machinists and maintenance technicians who need precise size selection across the full range from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch.

Key Features

• 29-piece set covering 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch in 1/64-inch increments
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in metalworking applications
• Oxide finish helps reduce friction and improve chip evacuation
• Standard 118-degree point angle for general-purpose drilling in metal
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Metal storage case keeps all 26 taper length drills organized and protected

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit set for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight shank bits across a range of bench drills, drill presses, and handheld power tools used in metalworking and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Taper length drill bits are typically installed and used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians. Secure the straight shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect bits for wear or chipping before each use and replace any bit that shows damage to avoid workpiece defects or breakage.
