Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit measures 0.1405 inches in diameter and carries a standard 118-degree split point angle for reliable self-starting on flat and curved stock. The flute length runs 3.0 inches with a regular right-hand spiral, and the overall length is 5-3\/8 inches. A straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust load and improves chip evacuation during extended drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for metalworking applications in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production settings where a wire-gauge No. 28 diameter hole is required. The taper length profile gives machinists and maintenance technicians access to deeper or obstructed bore locations that standard jobber bits cannot reach. The general-purpose grade makes it appropriate for mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials encountered in day-to-day trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.1405 inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge No. 28 for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides heat resistance during continuous drilling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.0-inch flute length with regular right-hand spiral for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces required thrust force and prolongs bit life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for any drill press, hand drill, or milling machine equipped with a chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1405 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove drill bits only with the machine fully powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck using the appropriate chuck key before operation. Machinists should verify proper spindle speed for the material and diameter being drilled, and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1405 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 28\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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Right-Hand Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 01408285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710936908082,"sku":"01408285","price":20.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/72bd7364458f4a91f9ae9db5f4423dad.jpg?v=1788472561","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408285-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
