Value Collection 01430370 Extra Length Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01430370 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits fall short. With a 0.5781 inch diameter, a 12 inch overall length, and a 9 inch spiral flute, this bit gives trades professionals the reach needed to bore through thick stock, structural members, or layered assemblies in a single pass. The oxide finish improves lubricity and provides mild corrosion resistance during use. The 118 degree standard point angle suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, making this a general-purpose tool appropriate for fabrication, mechanical, and construction trades.

This drill bit is suited for use in production or job-site environments where deep-hole drilling is required in steel, cast iron, aluminum, wood composites, or plastics. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 37/64 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks and magnetic drill press holders. The right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation from deep bores, reducing the risk of bit binding or workpiece damage. General-purpose machinists, ironworkers, millwrights, and mechanical contractors will find this bit appropriate for everyday heavy-stock drilling tasks.

Key Features

• 0.5781 inch diameter with 12 inch overall length for deep-reach drilling
• 9 inch spiral flute length promotes chip clearance in deep bores
• 118 degree standard point angle suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for durability and lubricity
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust force at the cutting tip
• Right-hand cutting direction with 2 regular spiral flutes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and magnetic drill presses accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 37/64 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck capacity matches the 37/64 inch shank diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Reduce feed pressure as the point breaks through the exit side of the workpiece to prevent grabbing or bit deflection. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit when tip geometry degrades to avoid workpiece damage.
