Value Collection 01568567 Taper Shank Drill Bit 30mm 3MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01568567 is a taper shank drill bit designed for metal working and general-purpose drilling applications. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit accepts a 3MT (Morse Taper No. 3) shank for use in compatible drill presses and machine tool spindles. The 30 mm cutting diameter and 118-degree standard point angle suit a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A web-thinned point reduces entry thrust and improves chip clearance at the start of the cut. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations.

This bit is intended for machine shop, maintenance, and industrial fabrication environments where a larger-diameter taper shank bit is required. It fits drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a No. 3 Morse Taper spindle or a compatible sleeve adapter. The general-purpose tool performance rating makes it appropriate for production drilling in mild steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and similar materials. It is sold individually and is suited for both job-shop and light production use.

Key Features

• 30 mm cutting diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• High-speed steel construction with oxide finish for heat and wear resistance
• Web-thinned point reduces thrust force and improves centering on entry
• Right-hand, regular spiral flutes promote consistent chip evacuation
• No coolant-through feature — suitable for flood coolant or dry cutting at the machine level

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 3 Morse Taper spindle or a sleeve adapter that accepts 3MT tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank and the spindle socket thoroughly before insertion — debris or oil on the taper surfaces will prevent proper seating and can cause the bit to slip under load. Drive the shank home with a firm mallet tap or draw-in bar as appropriate to the machine; use a drift and knockout slot to remove the bit safely.
