Value Collection 01430305 Extra Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01430305 is a high-speed steel extra length drill bit designed for drilling operations that require extended reach beyond standard bit lengths. With a 0.4688 inch diameter and a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit handles general-purpose drilling through steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. At 12 inches overall length with a 9 inch flute length, it delivers the reach needed for deep-hole work in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical assembly applications. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments where standard-length bits cannot reach the work. The straight-cylindrical shank fits conventional three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld power drills. The right-hand spiral flute design clears chips efficiently on through-hole and blind-hole operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for easier starting and reduced thrust
• 9 inch flute length provides extended chip clearance on deep-hole applications
• 12 inch overall length delivers reach beyond standard jobber-length bits
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Right-hand, regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.4688 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a drill chuck before operation and verify the bit runs true with minimal runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the far side of the workpiece to prevent grabbing. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged.
