Sized at 0.500 inches in diameter with a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank, it seats directly into compatible taper shank spindles and tailstocks without a chuck. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose entry into mild steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Flute length runs 5 inches with a 9.625 inches overall length. Coolant-through capability supports high-production setups. This bit is typically installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and skilled maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments. The cobalt construction handles elevated cutting temperatures better than standard high-speed steel, making it appropriate for harder or work-hardening materials. The right-hand spiral flute with N-thinned web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. It fits lathes, drill presses, and milling machines equipped with a 3MT taper socket. The bright uncoated finish allows for straightforward visual inspection of the cutting edge condition after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT taper shank for direct spindle mounting without a separate chuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports high-production and deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN-thinned web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for reliable chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or service bit for machine tools equipped with a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) taper socket, including drill presses, lathes, and milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or qualified maintenance technicians. The taper shank must be clean and free of nicks or burrs before seating into the spindle socket to ensure full contact and concentricity. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. Use a drift and soft mallet to remove the bit from the taper socket — never drive the shank in with excessive force, as this can damage the taper seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3MT (Morse Taper 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: N-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1057127\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698743968050,"sku":"1057127","price":1068.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0712ac12bbdf1024943b42c931160c22.jpg?v=1788367322","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1057127-taper-shank-drill-bit-1-2-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
