Value Collection 01567064 Taper Shank Drill Bit 17.5mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01567064 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in industrial and shop environments. The bit is machined from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, offering adequate hardness and surface protection for standard drilling operations. It measures 17.5 mm (0.689 inches) in diameter with a 130 mm (5.12 inches) flute length and a 228 mm (8.98 inches) overall length. The 118-degree standard point and right-hand spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice for drilling through ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this bit.

This drill bit fits drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse taper (2MT) spindle or sleeve. The 2MT shank is a widely used taper designation in machine shop equipment, making this bit compatible with a broad range of stationary drilling machinery. It is suited for production drilling, maintenance repair, and fabrication work where a mid-size bore in metal stock is required. The web-thinned point reduces thrust force at the start of the cut, which is especially useful when drilling in harder steel alloys.

Key Features

• 17.5 mm (0.689 inches) drill diameter for mid-size bore applications
• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank for direct mounting in compatible machine spindles and sleeves
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned geometry to reduce entry thrust
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• 228 mm (8.98 inches) overall length provides reach for deeper setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and other stationary machine tools fitted with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle or adapter sleeve.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a 2MT-compatible spindle, sleeve, or drift-lock socket. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Ensure the taper surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the shank to prevent runout. Use a proper drift and mallet to remove the bit from the spindle — never use a screwdriver or improvised tool, as this can damage the taper bore.
