It accepts a Number 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. The cutting diameter is 25\/64 inch (0.3906 inch decimal equivalent), and the bit is ground to a standard 118-degree point angle with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve centering. Construction is high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish that provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for machine-shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where a taper shank drive is preferred over a straight shank. The 2MT interface transfers torque efficiently and self-releases under reverse rotation, making tool changes straightforward on compatible spindles. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in mild steel, aluminum, plastics, and similar workpiece materials. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry handle a broad range of general-purpose drilling tasks without requiring specialized coolant delivery, as coolant-through is not supported on this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25\/64 inch cutting diameter (0.3906 inch decimal) for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber 2 Morse Taper shank fits standard 2MT drill press and lathe spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in common metals and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides light surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix evacuates chips efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a Number 2 Morse Taper (2MT) spindle socket.

Ensure the spindle and taper shank are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the bit — debris on the taper surfaces reduces grip and can cause runout. Use a drift pin and a soft mallet through the spindle drift slot to release the bit; never attempt to pry the taper free. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and follow applicable machine guarding requirements per OSHA 1910.212.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/64 inch (0.3906 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2MT (Number 2 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 01520253\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721037283634,"sku":"01520253","price":46.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/489180c202105f517a148aa71422d00c.jpg?v=1788572637","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01520253-taper-shank-drill-bit-25-64-in-2mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
