Value Collection BS38N0067 Taper Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS38N0067 is a taper length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, plastic, and other general-purpose materials. It measures 0.0320 inches in diameter, equivalent to wire gauge size 67, and features a 118-degree split point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish to extend tool life and reduce friction during operation. Overall length is 2 inches with a 0.75-inch flute length. A straight cylindrical shank provides positive chuck retention. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and general shop trades use this bit for small-diameter drilling applications.

This drill bit suits light-duty and precision drilling tasks where a small-diameter, taper-length configuration is required. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills running in conventional forward rotation. The general-purpose grade is appropriate for drilling mild steel, aluminum, brass, thermoplastics, and similar workpiece materials in production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 0.0320 inch diameter, wire size 67 — suited for small-diameter precision holes
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Black oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank for use in standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 0.0320 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with small-diameter drill selection and operating parameters. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify concentricity to avoid bit deflection at small diameters. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage if run at incorrect speeds or feeds.
