Value Collection KP86135 Extra Length Drill Bit 1/4 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP86135 is an extra length high-speed steel drill bit designed for applications requiring greater reach than standard-length bits. It features a 1/4 inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and an 8 inch overall length with a 5.5 inch spiral flute. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at entry and improves chip evacuation. This bit is suitable for use in drill presses, hand drills, and machine tool setups across trade and light industrial environments.

The KP86135 is a general-purpose drill bit rated for drilling into mild steel, aluminum, wood, plastics, and similar materials. The extra length makes it well suited for drilling through thick stock, deep cavities, or structural members where a jobber-length bit cannot reach. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople commonly use extra length bits when drilling through wall studs, joists, or stacked material. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch diameter with 8 inch overall length for extended reach
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• 5.5 inch spiral flute length with regular helix for consistent chip removal
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves cutting efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or drill press capable of accepting a straight cylindrical 1/4 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed prior to starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Right-hand cutting direction requires standard forward rotation. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed.
