Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit accepts a 5MT (Morse Taper 5) shank, making it compatible with larger drill presses and milling machine spindles that use that taper size. The cutting end features a standard 118-degree point angle with a web-thinned tip to reduce thrust and improve centering at startup. At 1.5625 inches in diameter, it handles large-bore drilling operations where smaller bits are not appropriate. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and heavy industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments. Typical applications include drilling large through-holes or stepped holes in steel plate, cast iron housings, and similar ferrous workpieces. The spiral flute geometry with a right-hand cutting direction provides efficient chip evacuation during deep drilling passes. The 9.625-inch flute length accommodates significant depth of cut, while the 16.625-inch overall length fits the extended quill travel found on floor-standing drill presses and radial arm drills equipped with a 5MT spindle taper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-9\/16 inches (1.5625 inches) diameter for large-bore drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5MT Morse Taper shank seats directly in matching drill press or mill spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces walking and entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, radial arm drills, and milling machines equipped with a No. 5 Morse Taper (5MT) spindle socket.

Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank and the spindle socket of chips and oil before inserting to ensure full taper contact and prevent slippage under load. Use a proper drift punch and the spindle drift slot to safely eject the bit  -  never strike the bit directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-9\/16 inches (1.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5MT (Morse Taper No. 5)\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, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9-5\/8 inches (9.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16-5\/8 inches (16.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\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: 6.86 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 01551365\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912441037106,"sku":"01551365","price":301.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/827fd5a27584a1b39b38d6adf78b4eae.jpg?v=1791234714","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01551365-taper-shank-drill-bit-5mt-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
