Value Collection 01100064 Drill Blank 3/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100064 is a high speed steel drill blank sized at 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch decimal) diameter with an overall length of 2-1/4 inches. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication, including special-purpose drills, punches, gauges, and similar shop tools. This blank features a bright, uncoated finish and holds a tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production shops use blanks like this one as starting material when standard off-the-shelf drill geometry does not meet a specific application requirement.

This drill blank is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments where custom tooling is ground in-house. It is appropriate for light-duty applications given its 3/32 inch diameter. Common uses include fabricating pilot drills, step tools, custom reamers, and gauge pins. The bright uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose high speed steel stock and is compatible with most bench grinder and tool-and-cutter grinder setups used in professional toolmaking.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in custom tooling applications
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches for precision fitment and grinding stock
• 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch) diameter suits small-bore and light-duty custom tool fabrication
• 2-1/4 inch overall length provides adequate stock for most bench grinding operations
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating removal required before grinding or further machining

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose high speed steel blank stock for use in tool rooms and machine shops requiring custom-ground tooling at 3/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock and require grinding or machining by a qualified machinist or toolmaker before use as a finished tool. Secure the blank properly in a tool-and-cutter grinder or appropriate fixture before any material removal. Use appropriate eye protection and follow all applicable shop safety procedures when grinding high speed steel. Do not use an unground blank as a cutting tool.
