Value Collection 63324032 Taper Shank Drill Bit 1 in 3MT Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63324032 is a taper shank drill bit engineered for heavy-duty drilling applications requiring a secure, self-centering shank connection. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It features a 1-inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at the start of the cut. The 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank seats directly into compatible drill press quills, lathes, or milling machine spindles. This bit is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians working in production and job-shop environments.

This drill bit is suited for production drilling in machine shop, maintenance, and heavy fabrication settings. The 30-inch overall length and 24-inch flute length make it appropriate for deep-hole drilling operations where extended reach is required. The right-hand spiral flute and regular spiral type handle chip removal effectively in through-hole and blind-hole applications across a range of workpiece materials. It is designed for use in floor-standing drill presses, radial arm drills, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse Taper 3 socket.

Key Features

• 1-inch diameter cutting edge for large-bore hole production
• 3MT (Morse Taper 3) shank for positive, self-locking spindle engagement
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip to reduce entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance during sustained cutting
• Oxide finish improves surface lubricity and corrosion resistance
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearance in deep holes

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a Morse Taper 3 (3MT) spindle socket. A Morse taper sleeve or drift may be required depending on the specific machine spindle size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or skilled maintenance technicians. Before inserting the shank, ensure the machine spindle and taper shank are clean and free of chips or oil that could prevent full seating. Insert the taper shank fully into the quill socket and align the tang with the drift slot before applying power. Always confirm workpiece is securely clamped and machine is at a safe speed for the bit diameter before starting the cut.
