Value Collection 01551464 Taper Shank Drill Bit 5MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01551464 is a taper shank drill bit designed for heavy-duty drilling in metal, fabrication, and machine shop environments. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a 1-23/32 inch (1.7188 inch) diameter and a 5 Morse taper shank for secure mounting in compatible taper-socket spindles and drill press quills. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and improve centering on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 10-1/8 inch flute length and 17-1/8 inch overall length, this bit handles deep-hole applications that shorter jobber-length bits cannot reach. It weighs 7.42 pounds.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose production drilling, toolroom work, and large-diameter hole making on manual or CNC drill presses and milling machines equipped with a 5MT spindle socket. It is appropriate for machinists, tool-and-die makers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians who require a large-diameter, full-length taper shank bit. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials.

Key Features

• 1-23/32 inch diameter (1.7188 inch decimal) for large-bore hole making
• 5 Morse taper shank seats securely in 5MT spindle sockets without a chuck
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat and wear resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and improved starts
• 10-1/8 inch spiral flute length supports deep-hole drilling applications
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral for consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, milling machines, and lathes fitted with a 5 Morse taper spindle socket. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5MT spindle socket or a 5MT-to-smaller-taper sleeve adapter; confirm spindle taper size before mounting. Clean and degrease the taper shank and socket bore before seating to ensure full metal-to-metal contact and prevent slippage under load. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Always run large-diameter bits at appropriate low RPM as specified in published cutting-speed tables for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
