Value Collection 01100072 Drill Blank 7/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100072 is a high speed steel drill blank ground to a 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch) diameter with an overall length of 2-5/8 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground rod stock used as starting material for custom tooling, gauge pins, punch blanks, and specialty cutting tools. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish with a tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inch, making it suitable for applications where close dimensional control is required before secondary grinding or machining operations.

This drill blank is used in tool and die shops, maintenance departments, and machine shops where technicians need raw high speed steel stock to fabricate or modify cutting tools, reamers, or specialty punches. The bright uncoated finish allows the material to be inspected visually and provides a consistent surface for subsequent grinding. Typical users include machinists, toolmakers, and industrial maintenance professionals working with standard inch-series tooling.

Key Features

• 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch) nominal diameter for direct use in inch-series tooling applications
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inch ensures precise fit in fixtures and holders
• 2-5/8 inch overall length provides sufficient stock for most blank tooling fabrication tasks
• High speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for cutting tool applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection and straightforward secondary processing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose high speed steel drill blank for use in standard inch-series toolmaking, gauging, and custom cutting tool fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock and require secondary machining or grinding before use as finished tools. Handle with care to avoid surface damage that could affect dimensional accuracy. Toolmakers should follow standard machine shop safety practices, including appropriate personal protective equipment, when grinding or machining high speed steel. Secure the blank firmly in the appropriate fixture before any machining operation.
