Value Collection 1057030 Taper Length Drill Bit Hss-e

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1057030 is a taper length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and general industrial applications. Built from M35-grade HSS-E cobalt steel, this bit handles harder materials and elevated heat better than standard high-speed steel tooling. It features a 118-degree point angle suited for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of the cutting edges during use. With a 27/64-inch diameter and an overall length of 7.25 inches, this taper length bit provides extended reach beyond what jobber-length bits offer.

This drill bit is intended for use in machine shop environments, production drilling setups, and maintenance repair operations where deeper hole reach is required without stepping up to a full extra-length bit. The taper length configuration makes it well-suited for drilling through thicker stock, flanges, structural members, and assemblies where a standard-length bit falls short. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with drill presses, mills, or hand-held magnetic drills will find this bit appropriate for a range of general-purpose metal drilling tasks.

Key Features

• M35-grade HSS-E cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS
• 118-degree point angle for general-purpose drilling on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Taper length body provides extended reach beyond standard jobber-length bits
• Bright, uncoated finish for straightforward edge inspection and regrinding
• 27/64-inch shank diameter matches bit diameter for direct chuck mounting
• 4.625-inch flute length supports chip evacuation over extended drilling depth

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with drill presses, knee mills, and magnetic base drills equipped with a standard three-jaw chuck or Morse taper adapter sized for a 27/64-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Taper length drill bits are installed and removed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling into finished workpieces. Always reduce spindle speed and increase feed pressure gradually when drilling harder alloys to avoid work-hardening or premature edge dulling. Disengage the machine from power before changing or inspecting tooling.
