Value Collection 01531094 Taper Shank Drill Bit 1-9/64 in 3MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01531094 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It carries a 3MT (Morse Taper No. 3) shank that seats directly into compatible taper-socket spindles on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. The cutting diameter is 1-9/64 inches (1.1406 inches decimal), ground to a 118-degree standard point with web thinning to reduce thrust and improve centering. The body is high-speed steel with an oxide finish, offering adequate heat and wear resistance for production and maintenance drilling at typical cutting speeds.

This bit is suited for job-shop, maintenance, and production environments where a larger-diameter, taper-shank drill is required. It installs into any machine spindle or sleeve accepting a 3MT taper. Right-hand spiral fluting clears chips efficiently during through-hole and deep drilling operations. The 7-1/4 inch flute length supports deep-hole applications, while the 11-7/8 inch overall length accommodates standard machine throat depths. General-purpose performance makes it appropriate for machinists, millwrights, tool-room technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

Key Features

• 1-9/64 inch (1.1406 inch decimal) cutting diameter for oversized hole applications
• 3MT Morse Taper shank for direct spindle mounting without a chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability
• Regular right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• 7-1/4 inch flute length and 11-7/8 inch overall length for deep drilling clearance

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) spindle socket or a matching sleeve adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a clean, burr-free 3MT taper socket; wipe both the shank and socket before seating to ensure full contact and prevent slippage under load. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Use a drift and drift slot to safely eject the taper shank — never strike the bit body directly. Cutting speed and feed rate should be set per standard HSS recommendations for the workpiece material to avoid premature edge wear.
