Value Collection 01100080 Drill Blank 1/8 in Hss Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100080 is a high speed steel drill blank ground to a 0.1250 inch (1/8 inch fractional) diameter with a 2-3/4 inch overall length. Drill blanks are unfluted, cylindrical rods precision-ground to close tolerances, used as raw stock for custom tool fabrication, gauge pins, punch tooling, and specialty drill grinding. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications that require tight dimensional control. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of stock.

This drill blank fits general metalworking and tool fabrication workflows in both job-shop and industrial maintenance settings. The high speed steel construction handles the heat and wear demands of regrinding into custom drill profiles or use as locating pins, ejector pins, or transfer punches. It is appropriate for light to moderate machining environments where an uncoated HSS blank is the specified material.

Key Features

• Precision ground to 0.1250 inch (1/8 inch) diameter
• Blank diameter tolerance: +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches for close-fit applications
• 2-3/4 inch overall length provides stock for custom tooling or pin applications
• High speed steel construction resists heat and wear during regrinding
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to remove before further machining

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch HSS drill blank for use in custom tool grinding, gauge pin fabrication, and general metalworking tooling applications where a bright uncoated high speed steel blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require tool grinding or machining to form functional cutting geometry before use as drills. Handle with care to avoid nicking the ground surface, which can affect dimensional accuracy. When pressing or driving blanks into fixtures or holders, use proper toolroom practices to avoid deforming the blank. A qualified machinist or tool grinder should perform any secondary operations on this stock.
