Value Collection 63323844 Taper Shank Drill Bit 1-1/32 in 3MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63323844 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance across a wide range of shop and field applications. The bit measures 1-1/32 inches in diameter, carries a 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank designation, and features a 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinning to reduce entry resistance. At 15 inches overall length with a 10-inch spiral flute, it handles deep-hole drilling in thick stock where shorter bits cannot reach. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance professionals are the primary users.

This drill bit fits drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse Taper 3 spindle or sleeve adapter. It is suited for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry are standard for conventional drilling setups. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance during storage and initial use. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for industrial shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who run taper shank equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires seating the taper shank firmly into a clean, dry Morse Taper 3 socket — remove any oil, chips, or debris from both the shank and socket before insertion. Secure the bit with a drift key or drawbar as appropriate for the machine type before beginning any cut. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating drill press or lathe equipment.
