Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it offers improved lubricity and basic corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The bit measures 0.1590 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and an overall length of 5.75 inches. The spiral flute runs 3.375 inches and features a right-hand cut with a regular spiral type. Web thinning reduces thrust force at the tip, making starts more controlled and reducing drill press load. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit suits production and maintenance drilling applications where a longer reach than a jobber-length bit is needed without stepping up to a full extra-length tool. The taper length body provides added rigidity compared to extra-long bits while still reaching deeper into workpieces or fixtures. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, lathes, and handheld drills. It is rated for general-purpose use and fits common shop, field service, and light fabrication workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction handles a wide range of base metals and general shop materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits flat-bottom and general entry drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tip reduces cutting thrust and improves hole starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters\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 handheld drill equipped with a standard three-jaw chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1590 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before starting the cut. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing or inspecting bits. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend bit life and improve finish. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-specific operating procedures when setting spindle speed for the material and diameter being drilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1590 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 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: Spiral, Regular\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: 01408210\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693285048626,"sku":"01408210","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2a2778a42a6d7aa23a4c52e0c5ec415.jpg?v=1788310141","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408210-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
