Value Collection 01408475 Taper Length Drill Hss 0.0785 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01408475 is a taper length high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Measuring 0.0785 inches in diameter — equivalent to Wire Size 47 — this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle for clean entry and accurate hole starting. The black oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during use. With an overall length of 4.25 inches and a flute length of 2.25 inches, it offers extended reach compared to jobber-length bits while maintaining rigidity. Installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and general fabrication technicians, this bit is suited for bench drilling, drill press, and hand-held power drill applications.

This taper length drill bit is appropriate for residential and commercial fabrication environments where wire-gauge hole sizes are required. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce walking on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard 3-jaw chucks and keyless chucks without requiring special toolholders. General-purpose grade HSS construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials at moderate speeds.

Key Features

• Wire Size 47 diameter — 0.0785 inches — for precise gauge-specific hole requirements
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and accurate starts
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across metal, plastic, and wood substrates
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Taper length body (4.25 inches overall, 2.25-inch flute) provides extended reach beyond standard jobber bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw and keyless drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks; suited for drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills used in general fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified technicians familiar with proper drill press or power tool operation. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm the shank is fully seated and tightened in the chuck before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid on ferrous materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the bit diameter and workpiece material combination.
