Value Collection 01510270 Taper Shank Drill Bit 27/64 in 1MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01510270 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 27/64 inch (0.4219 inch decimal) cutting diameter and a No. 1 Morse taper shank for secure seating in compatible taper-sleeve adapters and drill press spindles. The 118-degree standard point geometry is a proven, all-purpose angle that requires no special grinding equipment to maintain. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit handles moderate heat and wear encountered in production and job-site drilling operations. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical end users.

This drill bit is suited for use in drill presses, milling machines, and lathe tailstocks equipped with a No. 1 Morse taper spindle or sleeve. It is appropriate for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned point reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation, making it a practical choice for production environments where cycle time and bit longevity both matter.

Key Features

• 27/64 inch cutting diameter (0.4219 inch decimal) for precise hole sizing
• No. 1 Morse taper shank seats directly in compatible taper-spindle machines without a chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for a wide range of materials
• Web-thinned point reduces drilling thrust and improves centering
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip removal
• Oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, and lathe tailstocks fitted with a No. 1 Morse taper spindle or a No. 1 Morse taper drill sleeve adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Before mounting or removing the bit, power down the machine and confirm the spindle has come to a complete stop. Seat the taper shank fully into the spindle or sleeve by hand and secure it using a drift and drawbar method appropriate to the machine. Use a drift punch in the spindle slot to remove the bit — never strike the cutting end of the bit to dislodge it.
