Value Collection 01100130 Drill Blank 13/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100130 is a high speed steel drill blank ground to a 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch decimal) diameter with an overall length of 3-5/8 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use them to create custom reamers, punches, gauges, and special-purpose cutting tools. The bright, uncoated finish provides a clean surface suitable for further grinding or coating operations. At 0.034 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-piece blank ready for secondary machining operations in a shop environment.

This drill blank is suited for tool rooms, machine shops, and fabrication environments where off-the-shelf tooling does not meet a specific diameter or geometry requirement. The 13/64 inch diameter makes it a practical starting point for close-tolerance custom tooling in that size range. It is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC toolroom applications where a precision-ground HSS blank is the required raw material.

Key Features

• Precision-ground to 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch) diameter for consistent starting stock
• 3-5/8 inch overall length provides adequate material for most custom tooling applications
• High speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for secondary tooling fabrication
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct use in grinding, EDM, or custom coating processes
• Single-piece quantity suitable for prototype or low-volume tooling work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose toolroom blank for machinists and tool makers requiring a precision-ground high speed steel rod at 13/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw tooling stock and require secondary machining before use as a finished tool. Handling should be done with care to avoid nicking the ground surface, which could affect dimensional accuracy of the finished tool. Secure the blank properly in a toolroom vise or collet fixture during any grinding or EDM operations. Follow standard shop safety practices including eye protection and proper machine guarding when working with HSS stock.
