Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit offers improved lubricity and moderate corrosion resistance during cutting operations. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck engagement across standard drill presses and hand drills. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades rely on this geometry for reliable hole quality in production and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling applications in shop and field environments. The wire gauge size 52 designation (0.0635 inches diameter) makes it appropriate for close-tolerance pilot holes, tapping pre-drill operations, and fine-diameter through-holes in light ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, allowing access to deeper features without requiring an extension. It is a practical choice for tool cribs, machinist benches, and maintenance departments handling varied drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for drilling metal and general-purpose materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish improves lubricity and provides moderate corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle suited for general-purpose drilling across a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust load and promotes cleaner chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard three-jaw chucks and drill press collets\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 drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.0635-inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard chuck or collet setup. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened securely before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, and replace the bit if the point is degraded to avoid out-of-tolerance holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0635 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\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, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 1 pound\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: 01408525\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723297882418,"sku":"01408525","price":76.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3876eeb49b0a70a0740d7a86aab8ca60.jpg?v=1788602840","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408525-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
