Value Collection 01408335 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01408335 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit resists heat buildup and light corrosion during extended drilling operations. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a web-thinned tapered web configuration, and a right-hand spiral flute that clears chips efficiently. The straight cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard drill chucks. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install this type of bit in manual drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills for through-hole and spot-drilling work in steel, cast iron, and similar materials.

This taper length drill bit is suited for production and maintenance environments where additional reach beyond a jobber-length bit is required. The extra flute and overall length allow drilling into recessed surfaces or through thicker stock without repositioning the workpiece. The general-purpose HSS construction makes it appropriate for low-to-medium carbon steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. It is sold individually and fits standard tooling setups in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves center starting
• Right-hand regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.1130-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed ratings for the workpiece material and machine type.
