Value Collection 01541069 Taper Shank Drill Bit 4MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01541069 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose drilling in metal, steel, and other hard materials. It accepts a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) shank, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. The cutting diameter is 1-3/32 inches (1.0938 inches decimal), the flute length is 6-7/8 inches, and the overall length is 12-1/2 inches. Constructed from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit is designed for right-hand cutting with a standard 118-degree point angle. It suits machinists, toolmakers, and trade professionals requiring consistent performance on larger-diameter bores.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shop environments, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance applications. The 4MT taper shank seats securely in compatible spindles without a separate chuck, allowing efficient setup on larger floor-standing drill presses and metalworking lathes. The spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during deep drilling operations. The web-thinned point reduces thrust required at entry, which is particularly useful when drilling through thick-walled steel or iron. General-purpose tool performance makes this bit a practical choice for production drilling at larger diameters.

Key Features

• 1-3/32 inch (1.0938 inch) cutting diameter for large-bore drilling applications
• 4MT Morse Taper shank for direct spindle mounting without a separate chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip to reduce entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat and wear resistance
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip removal during drilling
• 12-1/2 inch overall length with 6-7/8 inch flute length for adequate reach in deep setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) spindle socket. No additional adapter or chuck is required when the machine spindle matches the 4MT designation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of taper shank drill bits should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolmaker. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank from the spindle socket. Ensure the taper socket is clean and free of chips or burrs before inserting the shank to achieve full seating and prevent slippage. Use a drift and drift slot to properly eject the shank — never strike the bit directly against the spindle housing.
