Value Collection 01100320 Drill Blank 0.5in Dia 6in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100320 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 0.5 inches in diameter with an overall length of 6 inches. Drill blanks are precision-ground, unfluted rods used as raw stock for fabricating custom cutting tools, punches, gauges, and similar precision components. This blank ships with a bright, uncoated finish, which means the steel surface is left in its ground state without any additional coating applied. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals grind these blanks to the specific geometry required for the job, making them a foundational shop consumable for toolmaking and repair applications.

This drill blank is suited for tool rooms, machine shops, and maintenance departments where custom tooling is required. Common applications include grinding single-point tools, step punches, locating pins, and other precision implements. The 0.5-inch diameter and 6-inch length provide a practical stock size for a wide range of toolmaking tasks. Trade professionals working in general machining, die maintenance, and precision fabrication will find this a standard supply item.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are worked by machinists and tool-and-die makers using surface grinders, bench grinders, or cylindrical grinders. Appropriate eye protection, grinding wheels rated for high speed steel, and proper wheel guards must be used during all grinding operations. Handle ground blanks with care as finished edges can be extremely sharp.
