Value Collection 01408343 Taper Length Drill Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01408343 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit resists corrosion and reduces friction during cutting. It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for improved penetration and reduced walking on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 0.1110 inches in diameter with an overall length of 5.125 inches, this bit reaches deeper into workpieces than a jobber-length equivalent, making it well suited for through-holes in thicker stock.

This drill bit is intended for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance applications where a deeper reach is required. The taper length design is commonly used with drill presses and milling machines for precision hole-making operations. The right-hand spiral flute efficiently evacuates chips during drilling. This bit corresponds to wire gauge size 34 and is sold individually.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for clean entry and reduced thrust
• Taper length body extends reach to 5.125 inches overall for deeper hole applications
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, milling machines, and hand drills equipped with chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.1110 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the material being drilled.
