Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it resists heat and light corrosion during extended use. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a web-thinned and tapered web configuration for reduced thrust at entry, and a right-hand spiral flute that clears chips efficiently. With a 2.0 inch flute length and an overall length of 3-3\/4 inches, the taper length body reaches deeper into workpieces than jobber-length bits while maintaining rigidity. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and operators of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling operations where standard jobber-length bits fall short. The wire gauge sizing — #51, equivalent to 0.0670 inches — makes it appropriate for close-tolerance pilot holes, through-holes for small fasteners, and precision layout work in sheet metal and light structural steel. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and milling machine quills without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body extends reach beyond jobber-length bits without sacrificing shank rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0670 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and operated by machinists and maintenance technicians using drill presses, hand drills, or milling machines. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the bit runs true before engaging the workpiece. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal applications to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit when point geometry is no longer intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: #51\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0670 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01408517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693069009202,"sku":"01408517","price":72.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ea5df08c0f8434950af373abd8093927.jpg?v=1788306910","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408517-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
