Value Collection 1057695 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1057695 is a taper length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, steel, and other hard materials. Built from HSS-E Cobalt (M35 grade), this bit offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and tough workpiece materials. The 118-degree split-point angle promotes accurate positioning and reduces walking at the start of the bore. At 0.9688 inches (31/32 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 10.875 inches, the taper length body provides additional reach beyond standard jobber-length bits without sacrificing rigidity. The bright, uncoated finish is compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and lubricants.

This taper length drill bit is intended for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and metalworking professionals who need extended reach in drilling operations. The longer flute length of 7.125 inches accommodates deeper holes than jobber-length tooling allows, making it a practical choice in production and maintenance environments where deep-hole drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals is common. The 31/32-inch shank diameter matches the bit diameter for direct chuck or drill press mounting.

Key Features

• HSS-E Cobalt M35 material grade for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose metal drilling and accurate hole entry
• Taper length body provides greater reach than jobber-length bits in deep-hole applications
• Bright, uncoated finish is compatible with most cutting fluids and oils
• 31/32-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter for straightforward chuck mounting
• General-purpose grade suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, milling machines, and magnetic base drills equipped with a chuck or collet sized to accept a 31/32-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or metalworking professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before beginning any operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to manage heat and prolong tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before use and remove the bit from service if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
