Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit offers increased lubricity and moderate corrosion resistance during cutting operations. It measures 0.0390 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it suited for drilling into a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry and improves chip evacuation, which is especially useful when drilling small-diameter holes requiring close tolerances. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, and electrical panel work will find this bit a dependable general-purpose choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis taper length drill bit is appropriate for use in hand-held drill presses, bench-top drill presses, and CNC machining centers where a straight-cylindrical shank is compatible. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it useful in applications where hole depth exceeds standard jobber-length capacity. The right-hand spiral flute design is standard for conventional drilling operations. General-purpose grade HSS construction makes this bit suitable for light production and maintenance drilling in shop, field, and light industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0390 inch diameter corresponds to Wire Gauge size 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling on ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides strength and heat resistance for metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish improves lubricity and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute for conventional forward-rotation drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0390 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BS38N0061\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712264012082,"sku":"BS38N0061","price":65.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/194cdec81dd8bd2b4d3cdae03035e3c4.jpg?v=1788485773","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs38n0061-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
