Value Collection 1057374 Taper Length Drill 0.7031 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1057374 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, ferrous alloys, and other demanding materials. Built from HSS-E Cobalt (M35 grade), it delivers superior heat resistance and cutting edge durability compared to standard high-speed steel. The 118-degree split-style point angle suits a broad range of work materials and promotes accurate self-centering on entry. With a 0.7031-inch (45/64) diameter, 6-3/16-inch flute length, and 9-1/2-inch overall length, this bit is sized for deeper hole applications where a jobber-length drill cannot reach. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-strength alloys where cobalt tooling is the appropriate choice. The bright uncoated finish makes it easy to resharpen on a standard drill grinder. Its taper length profile is commonly used in machine shop environments, drilling fixtures, and CNC or manual vertical mill setups where extended reach into a workpiece is required.

Key Features

• HSS-E Cobalt M35 construction for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 118-degree point angle for general-purpose use across a wide range of metals
• Taper length body provides extra reach beyond standard jobber-length drill bits
• Bright uncoated finish allows straightforward resharpening without coating interference
• 45/64-inch shank diameter matches the drill bit diameter for direct chuck or collet mounting
• General purpose grade suitable for both intermittent and production drilling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with drill chucks, collets, and machine spindles accepting a 45/64-inch straight shank across manual and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with machine tool operation. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized chuck or collet before use, and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the work material, particularly when drilling stainless or high-strength alloys. Always power down and bring the spindle to a complete stop before changing or adjusting tooling.
