Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit handles ferrous and non-ferrous metals with consistent performance. It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier entry and reduced thrust. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 6 inches overall length with a 3-5\/8 inch flute length, it reaches deeper holes than jobber-length bits without sacrificing rigidity. Machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance technicians are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for through-hole and blind-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. At 0.2130 inches diameter, it corresponds to Wire Size 3, making it a common selection for clearance holes, pilot holes, and tapping preparation in light to medium fabrication work. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, lathes, and hand-held power drills where a longer flute reach is needed. The right-hand spiral flute efficiently evacuates chips during cutting, reducing heat buildup and extending bit life in production or repetitive drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body reaches deeper holes than standard jobber bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw and keyless drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks, suitable for drill presses, lathes, and hand-held power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall this bit in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Always use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard metals to manage heat and extend bit life. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or burned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2130 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01408038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722747380018,"sku":"01408038","price":19.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0861fa7ceec228a111ae2f1189299712.jpg?v=1788595302","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408038-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
