Value Collection 10-240 Threaded Shank Drill Bit No. 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10-240 is a No. 40 extra-long threaded shank drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, plastic, and other materials where standard-length bits fall short. The threaded shank design provides a secure, positive connection to compatible chuck systems, reducing slippage under load. At 1 pound, this bit is built for professional use in production, maintenance, and repair environments. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers and users of this bit.

This drill bit is suited for applications requiring extended reach, such as deep-hole drilling in fixtures, dies, or assemblies where a standard-length bit cannot access the work zone. The No. 40 size targets small-diameter precision work common in machining and light fabrication shops. The threaded shank accommodates chucks and holders designed for threaded-shank tooling, making it a practical addition to CNC and manual drill press setups.

• Extra-long (Terry Long) configuration for extended reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental bit for drill presses, CNC machines, and manual equipment fitted with threaded-shank compatible chucks or holders accepting a No. 40 threaded shank bit.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded shank drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with the specific chuck or holder system in use. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle has stopped completely before changing bits. Thread the shank fully into the holder and verify secure seating before applying any cutting load. Inspect the bit for visible wear or damage before each use.
