Value Collection 01450303 Extra Length Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01450303 is a high-speed steel extra length drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits cannot reach. Built from general-purpose HSS with an oxide finish, it carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The 18-inch overall length and 12-inch flute length give machinists and fabricators the reach needed to bore through thick stock, stacked material, or hard-to-access workpiece locations. Web thinning reduces the thrust force required at entry, making starts cleaner on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This bit is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. It fits standard straight-shank chucks on drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held industrial drills. The extra length format is commonly selected when drilling through deep sections of structural steel, aluminum extrusions, or plate stock where a jobber-length bit would fall short. General-purpose grade HSS makes it appropriate for a broad range of everyday drilling tasks at moderate speeds and feeds.

Key Features

• 18-inch overall length for deep-reach drilling applications
• 12-inch spiral flute length promotes chip evacuation over extended bore depth
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral, 2-flute design for consistent chip flow

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit for use in standard straight-shank chucks on drill presses, milling machines, and industrial hand drills accepting a 0.4688-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous materials to manage heat buildup over long flute lengths. Consult machine manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for HSS tooling at this diameter and length.
