Value Collection 01100106 Drill Blank 5/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100106 is a high speed steel drill blank ground to a 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch decimal) diameter with an overall length of 3-1/8 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as the raw stock for custom tooling fabrication, gauge pins, punch and die work, and specialty drill grinding. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish with a tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches, making it suitable for applications where close dimensional control is required. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators are the primary users.

This drill blank is suited for shop environments where standard off-the-shelf drill geometry does not meet the application requirement. Typical uses include grinding custom drill profiles, fabricating step tooling, creating locating pins, and use as raw stock in tool room operations. The high speed steel material handles moderate heat and wear conditions common in manual and CNC tool grinding setups. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Diameter: 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch decimal) for precise fitment in standard tooling setups
• Overall length of 3-1/8 inches provides adequate stock for most custom grinding applications
• High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance and grindability
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains as-ground dimensional integrity
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches supports close-tolerance fabrication work
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, easy to handle and store in quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank for tool room and fabrication use where a 5/32 inch diameter, 3-1/8 inch overall length high speed steel blank is specified.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock and require grinding or machining before use as finished tooling. Handle with standard tool room practices and use appropriate grinding equipment rated for high speed steel. Inspect diameter with a micrometer before use to confirm tolerance is within specification for the intended application. No power-down or system shutoff procedures apply to blank stock handling.
