Value Collection 1057018 Taper Length Drill 0.4062 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1057018 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from HSS-E Cobalt (M35 grade), it delivers improved heat resistance and wear life compared to standard high-speed steel. The bit measures 0.4062 inches (13/32 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree point angle and an overall length of 7 inches. The bright, uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of wear. This drill is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication professionals requiring a longer-reach bit for deeper hole applications.

This taper length drill bit is intended for general-purpose shop and field use where a standard-length bit cannot reach the required depth. The extended flute length of 4-3/8 inches provides greater reach without sacrificing chip evacuation. Typical applications include metalworking, structural fabrication, and maintenance repair operations in both shop and industrial environments. The 13/32-inch shank diameter matches the bit diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles of appropriate size.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles accepting a 13/32-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This drill bit should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press, milling machine, or handheld drill operation. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the chuck is secured before bit installation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always verify that workpiece and bit are properly secured before beginning any drilling operation.
