Sized at 0.0180 inches (Wire Size 77), it features a 118-degree standard point angle and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish that reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces the thrust needed to start and advance the cut, making it well suited to light-duty, tight-tolerance work on the bench or in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for general-purpose drilling applications where small wire-gauge holes are required. Typical uses include pilot holes, instrument panel layouts, electronics fabrication, and small-bore work in sheet metal or light alloys. The taper length body provides a slightly longer flute than a jobber-length bit, giving added reach in confined or deeper-hole applications. It is used by machinists, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who routinely work with small-diameter fasteners or fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire Size 77 (0.0180 inches diameter) for small, precise hole diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish reduces friction and offers basic rust resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks\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 and presses that accept straight-cylindrical shanks at this diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a drill press, hand drill, or pin vise with a properly sized chuck before use. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during drilling. At this small diameter, use low-to-moderate feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection when drilling metal or hard plastics.\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: 77\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0180 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: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\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\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: BS38N0077\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721574809906,"sku":"BS38N0077","price":81.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e7e808e0a5d859db28de5eeaafd9f343.jpg?v=1788578858","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs38n0077-taper-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
