Value Collection 01100296 Drill Blank 29/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100296 is a high speed steel drill blank ground to a 29/64 inch (0.4531 inch decimal) diameter with a 5-5/8 inch overall length. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as the raw stock for custom tooling fabrication, gauge pins, punch and die components, and fixture work. The bright, uncoated finish indicates an unground surface treatment standard for HSS blanks used in toolroom and grinding applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this stock.

This drill blank is suited for toolroom environments where a technician needs to grind a custom profile, create a special-purpose drill or reamer, or use the blank as a locating or gauging element. The 5-5/8 inch overall length provides sufficient material for most standard regrinding operations. The high speed steel construction supports use in applications requiring moderate heat resistance and wear resistance during the fabrication or secondary grinding process.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS drill blank for toolroom fabrication, custom drill grinding, and gauging applications where a 29/64 inch diameter cylindrical blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require secondary grinding or machining by a qualified toolroom machinist or tool and die maker before use as a cutting tool. Secure the blank properly in a tool and cutter grinder or surface grinder fixture before any material removal. Inspect the blank for dimensional accuracy with appropriate gauging instruments prior to grinding. Follow all shop safety protocols when operating grinding equipment, including the use of eye protection and appropriate wheel guards.
