Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, the bit resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended use. It measures 0.1820 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip ejection. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. With a flute length of 3.375 inches and an overall length of 5.75 inches, this bit provides added reach compared to jobber-length equivalents, making it well suited for deeper hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for use in hand drills, drill presses, and light CNC applications where a taper length geometry is required. The right-hand spiral flute and regular spiral type deliver consistent chip removal on through-holes and blind holes alike. The wire gauge sizing designates this as a No. 14 drill bit, commonly used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance work where precise hole diameter is needed for threading or close-tolerance fits. It is sold individually and is a practical addition to a professional or shop drill index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction handles heat generated during metal drilling without premature edge failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of general-purpose materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces required thrust and improves penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body at 5.75 inches overall provides extended reach beyond standard jobber bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits conventional 3-jaw drill chucks without modification\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 a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1820-inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Power down the drill and disconnect from the power source before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality.
