Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, this bit measures 0.0225 inches in diameter and corresponds to Wire Gauge Size 74. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in a wide range of workpiece materials. The right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust at entry. Overall length is 1.5 inches, with a flute length of 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inch). The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for machinists, tool and die workers, maintenance technicians, and precision fabricators working on small-bore applications. Typical uses include pilot holes, locating holes, and through-holes in sheet metal, printed circuit board work, instrument panels, and light structural components. The wire-gauge sizing (No. 74) makes it a common choice anywhere close-tolerance small-diameter holes are required. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0225 inch diameter corresponds to Wire Gauge Size 74 for close-tolerance small-bore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle works across a broad range of materials without regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers entry thrust and reduces walking on hard surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand regular spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation in short-flute small-diameter geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 0.0225 inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck or collet before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. At this diameter, feed pressure must be light and controlled to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace any bit showing chipping or dulling to maintain hole tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0225 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 74\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: BS38N0074\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51709605085490,"sku":"BS38N0074","price":99.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/80485b1f303a9228370a8c0ffe744a19.jpg?v=1788458329","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs38n0074-taper-length-drill-bit-0-0225-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
