Value Collection 1057368 Taper Shank Drill Bit 11/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1057368 is a cobalt taper shank drill bit designed for demanding metal drilling applications. It features a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank for secure seating in compatible spindles and tailstocks. The 118-degree standard point angle provides a self-centering entry suited to general-purpose work in steel, stainless, cast iron, and other ferrous materials. The spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation, and the bright uncoated finish is suitable for use with cutting fluid. Coolant-through capability allows internal coolant delivery for extended tool life in production environments. This bit is sized at 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch decimal) in diameter.

This drill bit is intended for use in drill presses, lathes, and machining centers equipped with a No. 3 Morse Taper socket. It suits general-purpose hole-making in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light production environments. The cobalt construction offers increased heat resistance over standard high-speed steel, making it appropriate for harder workpiece materials and higher feed rates. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling setups.

Key Features

• Cobalt tool material provides superior heat resistance for drilling harder metals
• 3MT taper shank seats securely in No. 3 Morse Taper spindles without a separate chuck
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Coolant-through capability supports internal coolant delivery in production setups
• N-thinned web reduces thrust force and improves self-centering at drill entry
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and lubricants
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in any spindle, lathe tailstock, or drill press quill accepting a No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) shank. No specific OEM model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting or removing the bit, ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and at rest. Clean both the taper shank and the receiving socket thoroughly before seating to prevent fretting and ensure concentricity. Use a proper drift and soft mallet to eject the bit from the socket rather than prying against the flutes.
