Value Collection 01408319 Taper Length Drill Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01408319 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat and light corrosion during standard drilling operations. The bit measures 0.1200 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it suitable for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The taper length body provides greater reach than a jobber-length bit while maintaining rigidity. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this style of drill.

This drill bit fits applications where a longer flute length is needed to clear chips effectively in deeper holes. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machining centers. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. It is appropriate for general-purpose shop use in fabrication, maintenance, and light production environments where wire-gauge sizing is required.

Key Features

• HSS construction handles the heat generated during high-speed drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a broad range of materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust load and improves penetration efficiency
• Right-hand regular spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation from the hole
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly tightened drill chuck before powering the machine. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
