Built with a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank and a 118-degree standard point angle, it delivers reliable performance in drill presses and lathes equipped with a matching taper socket. The bit measures 17\/32 inches (0.5313 inches decimal) in diameter, with a 5.125-inch flute length and a 9.75-inch overall length. Cobalt construction provides heat resistance and edge retention at elevated cutting temperatures without the need for a surface coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis taper shank drill bit is suited for general-purpose machining in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The 3MT taper shank seats directly into compatible drill press quills or lathe tailstocks, eliminating the need for a chuck. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in medium to heavy workpieces. Its general-purpose classification makes it a practical choice for technicians working with steel, cast iron, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt tool material for heat resistance and extended edge life in hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse Taper shank for direct mounting in compatible drill press quills and lathe tailstocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with N-thinned web for reduced thrust and improved chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish for easy visual inspection of wear and regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through capability supports high-duty-cycle and deep-hole drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) socket.

Power down and lock out the machine before seating or drifting the taper shank. Use a properly sized drift and drift slot to remove the bit — never strike the bit body directly. Ensure the taper socket is clean and free of debris to achieve full taper contact and prevent slipping under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches (0.5313 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: 5.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.75 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241639\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: 1057162\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692873154866,"sku":"1057162","price":1107.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1b9d4b32e9b0d3c0513363f82c96d84b.jpg?v=1788304339","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1057162-taper-shank-drill-bit-17-32-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
