Value Collection 01100205 Drill Blank 5/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100205 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 5/16 inch in diameter with an overall length of 4.5 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication, punch and die work, and precision gauging applications. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish, preserving the base material properties for downstream grinding, machining, or hardening operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and toolroom technicians are the primary users. The high speed steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding shop-floor applications.

This drill blank is suited for toolroom and production environments where custom tooling is ground to specification. Common applications include fabricating custom drill bits, reamers, punches, and locating pins. The 5/16 inch diameter and 4.5 inch overall length make it a practical choice for medium-scale tooling projects. It is also used as a precision gauge pin or alignment reference in fixture and jig setups.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction delivers hardness and wear resistance for tooling fabrication
• Bright, uncoated finish preserves base material for grinding, coating, or heat treatment
• 5/16 inch diameter provides a commonly specified mid-range blank size
• 4.5 inch overall length offers sufficient stock for a wide range of custom tooling applications
• Precision-ground cylindrical form ensures dimensional accuracy for gauging and fixture work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank for toolroom use in manual and CNC machining environments where 5/16 inch diameter high speed steel stock is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and machined by qualified toolroom machinists or tool and die makers. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when grinding or machining high speed steel. Secure the blank firmly in a vise or fixture before any material removal operation. Inspect the blank for surface defects before use in precision gauging or critical tooling applications.
