Value Collection 01665827 Taper Shank Drill Bit 4MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01665827 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for heavy-duty drilling in metal, steel, and similar materials. It carries a 1.5-inch cutting diameter and mounts via a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) shank, seating directly into compatible drill press spindles or lathes without a chuck. The 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning reduces entry force and centers the bit reliably on startup. A high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and adequate heat tolerance for general-purpose production environments. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this tool.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The 17-inch flute length accommodates deep-hole drilling passes, while the 24-inch overall length gives clearance in deep-bed drill press setups. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation. The spiral flute type is a regular helix, appropriate for moderate chip evacuation in ferrous and non-ferrous materials at controlled feed rates.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch cutting diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle for reliable entry
• 4MT Morse Taper shank seats directly into taper-spindle drill presses and lathes
• Web-thinned point reduces thrust force and improves self-centering
• High-speed steel construction handles general-purpose metal drilling at production feeds
• Oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance for shop storage and use
• 17-inch flute length and 24-inch overall length support deep-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill press spindles, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a 4MT (Morse Taper 4) socket. Verify taper size of the receiving spindle before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and lock out the machine at the main disconnect before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean the spindle bore and shank taper of chips and oil before insertion to ensure full contact and prevent slippage under load. Never use a drill bit of this diameter in a standard keyed or keyless chuck not rated for the corresponding torque load.
