Value Collection 01531110 Taper Shank Drill Bit 3MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01531110 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose metal drilling in machine shop, maintenance, and industrial fabrication environments. The bit measures 1-11/64 inches (1.1719 inches decimal) in diameter with a 3MT Morse taper shank for secure mounting in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper spindle. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a standard 118-degree point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. Installation is handled by machinists and industrial maintenance technicians.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications where a large-diameter hole is required without the use of a straight-shank chuck. The 7-3/8-inch flute length allows deep-hole drilling passes, while the 12-inch overall length accommodates setups where extended reach is necessary. The regular spiral and web-thinned construction reduce entry resistance and improve performance in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials commonly encountered in trade and industrial settings.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians into a 3MT taper spindle or adapter sleeve — ensure the taper socket is clean and free of burrs before seating. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Use a proper drift key and soft mallet to eject the bit from the taper; never strike the bit directly. Secure workpieces firmly and apply appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous materials to extend tool life.
