It carries a wire gauge size of 71, equivalent to 0.0260 inches in diameter. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood. The spiral flute geometry is right-hand cut with a regular spiral, and the web is thinned and tapered to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation on small-diameter work. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics use this bit in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills for precision small-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited to production and job-shop environments where consistent small-bore hole quality is required. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adaptation. The taper length body, longer than a jobber-length bit, provides added reach for applications where clearance depth is a factor. At 0.0260 inches diameter and 2 inches overall length, it is well matched to light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, electronics enclosure work, printed circuit board fixturing, and instrument component drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 71 (0.0260 inches diameter) for tight-tolerance small-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across a broad range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance for repeated use in metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered-web design lowers cutting thrust on small-diameter holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for standard drill chucks and collet holders that accept straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.0260 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with small-diameter drill bit handling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation, and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter — small-diameter HSS bits are sensitive to excessive feed rates and lateral loading. Inspect the cutting edges before each use; do not use a chipped or visibly worn bit. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0260 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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\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: BS38N0071\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700206338354,"sku":"BS38N0071","price":97.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/492eb52ec77f7a006817cf58c31a29f1.jpg?v=1788387623","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs38n0071-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
