Value Collection 01567601 Taper Shank Drill Bit 22mm 2MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01567601 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 22 mm (0.866 inch) diameter cutting edge, a 2MT (Morse Taper 2) shank for secure mounting in compatible drill presses and machine spindles, and a 118-degree standard point angle for reliable centering and entry. The flute is spiral-cut in a regular right-hand configuration, and the web is thinned at the tip to reduce cutting resistance. The oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and use. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators commonly install this bit in production and shop environments.

This drill bit is suited for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle or sleeve. The 22 mm diameter and general-purpose geometry make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole applications in ferrous and non-ferrous stock. It is a single-piece bit sold individually, making it a direct replacement or supplemental tool for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who require this specific diameter and shank combination.

Key Features

• 22 mm cutting diameter (0.866 inch) for precise metric-spec holes
• No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank seats directly in compatible spindles without a chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry across common workpiece materials
• Web-thinned tip reduces thrust force and improves chip clearance
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction maintains edge integrity under sustained cutting loads
• Oxide finish provides baseline corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through and blind drilling

Compatibility

Designed for use in any drill press, lathe tailstock, or milling machine spindle accepting a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) toolholder or sleeve adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean the spindle socket and the taper shank with a dry cloth to remove oil and debris before insertion, as contamination can cause the bit to seat improperly or slip under load. Use a drift key in the spindle slot to remove the bit after use — do not strike the spindle housing directly.
