Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat and corrosion during standard drilling operations. The bit measures 0.1770 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. At 5.75 inches overall length with a 3.375-inch spiral flute, it reaches deeper holes than a jobber-length bit while maintaining rigidity. Installed by machinists and maintenance trades in drill presses, lathes, and hand drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit suits production and maintenance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without modification. Right-hand cut spiral flutes move chips out of the hole efficiently during through-drilling and blind-hole work. The black oxide coating provides light lubricity and reduces built-up edge on the cutting lips. General-purpose grade makes this a reliable stock item for shops and field service kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction handles heat generated in metal drilling without losing temper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces drill thrust and improves chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length body reaches deeper than jobber-length bits while keeping the straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute evacuates chips consistently in both through and blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with any drill press, lathe tailstock, or hand drill fitted with a chuck that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1770 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to starting the spindle. Apply cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting lips and web for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the edge is compromised to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 01408160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690004906290,"sku":"01408160","price":22.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e1b642aefcd9f0efd63b3e9a7e6dacd.jpg?v=1788265678","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408160-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
