Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it offers added corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced feed pressure at startup. At 0.1890 inches in diameter, it corresponds to a No. 12 wire gauge size. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses and hand drills alike. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for through-hole and clearance-hole drilling in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The taper length body provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit, making it useful in deeper setups or where standard-length bits cannot reach the work surface. The right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently during continuous drilling operations in both handheld and press-mounted setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 provides light corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for improved center starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length body extends reach beyond standard jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental taper length drill bit compatible with any drill press, CNC drill station, or handheld drill equipped with a standard three-jaw chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Power down the drill press or release the trigger lock on handheld tools before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid on harder materials to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1890 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.75 inches\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\u003eDrill Bit Grade\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 01408129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700257882418,"sku":"01408129","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4ea9d16d52937f64f5cb27e84e0972db.jpg?v=1788388195","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408129-taper-length-drill-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
