Value Collection 01100304 Drill Blank 15/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100304 is a high speed steel drill blank sized at 15/32 inch (0.4688 inch decimal) diameter with a 5-3/4 inch overall length. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication, punch and die work, or as guide pins and locating pins in fixtures and jigs. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish, leaving the steel surface ready for further grinding, coating, or hardening as required by the application. It is a standard trade-supply item used in machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing maintenance environments.

This drill blank suits applications where a technician or toolmaker needs a precise-diameter steel rod for custom tool grinding, reamer blanks, or tooling pins. The 15/32 inch diameter and 5-3/4 inch length make it suitable for medium-duty tooling fabrication tasks. It is used in general machining, metalworking, and maintenance repair operations where off-the-shelf tooling does not meet custom dimensional requirements.

Key Features

• 15/32 inch (0.4688 inch decimal) diameter for precise fitment in tooling applications
• 5-3/4 inch overall length provides adequate stock for most custom grinding operations
• High speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for toolmaking use
• Bright, uncoated finish allows immediate use or application of custom coatings and treatments
• Single-piece packaging suitable for low-volume toolroom procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose high speed steel drill blank for use in toolroom, machining, and maintenance environments requiring a 15/32 inch diameter round stock.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are typically handled by machinists or toolmakers using standard bench grinders, surface grinders, and tool-and-cutter grinders. Secure workholding is required when grinding to final tool geometry. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow facility safety protocols when machining high speed steel stock. Do not use this blank as a rotating cutting tool without proper grinding to the required geometry and relief angles.
