Value Collection 01100239 Drill Blank 23/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100239 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 23/64 inch (0.3594 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 4-7/8 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground rods used as raw stock for custom toolmaking, specialty reamers, punches, and gauge pins. The bright, uncoated finish indicates an as-ground surface without additional treatment, making this blank ready for further machining or hardness testing. Tool and die makers, machinists, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this type of stock.

This drill blank is suited for toolroom and machine shop applications where a precision-diameter HSS rod is needed as the starting point for a custom cutting tool or fixture component. Common uses include grinding custom form tools, fabricating drill bushings, and creating punch blanks. The uncoated surface allows for easy inspection and further surface treatment if required by the application.
