Ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit resists heat and light corrosion during normal cutting operations. It measures 0.0400 inches in diameter, corresponding to Wire Size 60, and features a 118-degree standard point angle suited for flat-starting on most common workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Web-thinned construction reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-room professionals are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized at Wire Size 60 (0.0400 inches) and falls in the taper length category, providing additional flute length compared to jobber-length bits for deeper hole applications. The 1-1\/8-inch flute length and 2-1\/4-inch overall length make it appropriate for light drilling operations in metalworking, fixture work, and precision machining applications where a small-diameter, extended-reach bit is required. The regular spiral flute promotes consistent chip removal. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose drilling\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 for use on common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces drilling thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0400 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press, milling machine, or hand drill with an appropriately sized chuck. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Never exceed the recommended RPM range for small-diameter HSS bits, as excessive speed generates heat that degrades the cutting edge.\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: 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0400 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, 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: 0.006 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\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: 01408608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721799074098,"sku":"01408608","price":79.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d9305c396bd7f03cbffb8487c582365f.jpg?v=1788581065","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01408608-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
