Value Collection 01541036 Taper Shank Drill Bit 4MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01541036 is a taper shank drill bit designed for heavy-duty drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit handles the thermal stress and wear common in production and maintenance drilling. It accepts a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) shank, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and boring mills equipped with a matching taper socket. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and help clear chips efficiently during operation.

This bit is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where large-diameter holes are drilled in a drill press or lathe setup. The 1-3/64 inch (1.0469 inch decimal) cutting diameter is appropriate for through-holes and stepped boring applications in industrial and commercial settings. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the typical users. The 6-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for moderate-depth drilling, and the 11-inch overall length accommodates most standard spindle setups.

Key Features

• 1-3/64 inch (1.0469 inch) cutting diameter for large-bore drilling applications
• 4MT Morse Taper shank fits drill presses, lathes, and boring mills with matching taper sockets
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during extended cutting cycles
• Oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface friction
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose right-hand cutting
• Web-thinned tip reduces thrust load and improves penetration at drill entry
• Regular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, engine lathes, and milling machines fitted with a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) spindle or tailstock socket. General-purpose fitment for production drilling, maintenance repair, and fabrication operations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a drill press, lathe tailstock, or boring mill spindle with a No. 4 Morse Taper socket. Clean both the shank taper and the socket bore before seating to ensure full contact and prevent slippage under load. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. A taper drift and soft mallet are standard tools for safe removal of the seated shank.
