Value Collection 01408392 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01408392 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it measures 0.0995 inches in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust. The overall length is 4.625 inches with a flute length of 2.5 inches, giving it extended reach compared to jobber-length bits. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need reliable performance in production or repair environments.

This taper length drill bit is well suited for applications requiring deeper hole reach in thin-gauge metals, plastic, and similar materials. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks on bench drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills. The right-hand spiral flute and tapered web configuration support efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling. General-purpose grade makes it appropriate for maintenance, fabrication, and light production work across a range of shop and field environments.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling applications
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and offers mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into metal and similar materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces required thrust and improves centering
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip removal during drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on bench presses, drill presses, and hand-held power drills accepting bits of this diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow standard machining safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm chuck jaw engagement with the straight shank before operating. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety codes. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the bit diameter and material being drilled.
