Value Collection 01100338 Drill Blank 33/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100338 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 33/64 inches (0.5156 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 6 inches. Drill blanks are precision-ground, unfluted cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use these blanks to grind custom drill geometries, reamers, punches, or other cutting tools to exact specifications. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the steel in its natural state, making it easier to inspect surface condition and apply custom coatings or heat treatments as required by the application.

This blank is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance environments where standard off-the-shelf tooling geometry does not meet the job requirement. It is commonly used to fabricate specialty drills for precision hole-making in metals, plastics, and composites. The 6-inch overall length provides adequate stock for grinding most standard and extended-reach tool profiles without requiring a longer starting blank.

Key Features

• Fractional size: 33/64 inches diameter (0.5156 inches decimal equivalent)
• 6-inch overall length provides ample grinding stock for custom tooling profiles
• High speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for cutting tool applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows for custom coating or heat treatment after fabrication
• Single-piece packaging — sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank suitable for use in tool-and-die, machining, and maintenance repair operations where a 33/64-inch diameter high speed steel blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require grinding by a qualified machinist or tool grinder before use as a cutting tool. Always use appropriate wheel guards and eye protection when grinding high speed steel. Ensure grinding equipment is rated for the blank diameter and material hardness. Follow applicable shop safety standards when handling and storing precision ground blanks.
